Delegate Approval

To prevent workflow stoppages, an approver or approval group member may delegate their responsibility while they are out of the office or unavailable.

Note: If an approval group member delegates approval to another approver, that approver becomes a member of the approval group for the duration of the delegation period.

To delegate your approval responsibility to another user:

1. Select Profile in the General menu on the Procurement Home Page.

The Procurement application displays your User Profile.

2. Click the Delegation tab.

The Procurement application displays the Delegation page.

3. Click the Search icon, next to the Delegate's Name text box, and use the Search Page to select the name of your delegate from the list:

Click to search a list of user for a suitable delegate.

4. Select the Start Date and End Date of the delegation period, from the drop-down menus.
5. Click [Save] (or [Reset] to cancel the operation.)

For the period of delegation, all Shopping Carts routed for your approval, go to your delegate instead. Your Approval Limit is also assigned to the delegate (if theirs is lower) for this period.
