The Approval Delegation dialog box enables approvers to delegate another user as an approver, for a certain period of time.
To delegate a user, perform the following steps:
1. In your Home page, click the View Profile link.
2. In the User Profile page, click the Delegate To link in the Approver Role field.
Note: The Delegate To link is available only to approvers.
3. In the Approval Delegation screen:
a. Specify the time period for the delegation. The Start Date is the current date. In the End Date field, enter an end date for the delegation.
b. Select a user. Enter a name in the Last Name field or the First Name field and click the Search button.
c. Click the Save button.
The delegate can now approve orders for the specified time period.
Note: The administrator configures whether approval emails are sent only to the delegate or both the approver and the delegate.
