| Delegate Approvals to
|
This applies when approving the following records: Billing invoices, Accounts Payable invoices, Purchasing records (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and request for price quotes), Inventory item requests, and employee absence requests. Select this check box if you normally approve one or more record types in Vision, and you temporarily want to assign another person to perform approvals on your behalf. For example, you may be going on a vacation or taking a leave of absence.
After you select this check box, click
 in the field to the right of the check box, and select the employee that you want to perform approvals in your absence (referred to as a delegate). You can select any employee in the organization as a delegate.
After you click
OK to save these settings, the delegate will receive approval notifications and alerts and have the ability to approve and reject records for you. You (the delegator) will continue to receive alerts (along with the delegate) so that you are aware of any invoices processed in your absence.
When you want to resume performing approvals, clear the
Delegate Approvals to check box. The delegate will stop receiving approval alerts, and he or she will no longer receive approval assignments on your behalf.
An alternative to using the delegate system for Billing invoice approvals is to create a different invoice approval process in
to use for projects when employees are unable to perform their invoice approval tasks. You can change the invoice approval process in Billing Terms for a project at any time. You can use the Search and Replace utility to update the invoice approval process for a group of projects.
