Assign Delegates

An approver may delegate another approver, within the first approver's spending limit, to approver Shopping Carts in their place. Delegations are assigned to occur during specified time periods and delegates are notified by e-mail when their delegation option has been turned on or off.

If a member of an approval group delegates to a user outside of the approval group, the delagatee becomes an acting member of the approval group for the delegation period.

Note the following:

• Delegation is configured by the individual user in the User Profile
• A user must turn off the delegation function before returning to their own approval in-box
• When assigning a delegation, you may only delegate your approval to an individual of your own scope or higher, within your own Buying Organization. Once delegation has been set up, any work assigned to the delegator can be performed by the delegate. This allows the delegate access to all approvals the delegator would have seen and gives the delegate a larger view.
