Delegating Approvals with SuiteApproval

You can delegate your approval to another employee within your subsidiary indefinitely or for a period, specified by start and end dates.

• If you are a supervisor, records requiring your approval are routed to your delegate when employee hierarchy is specified in the approval rule.
• If you are selected as approver of a specific approver type, records requiring your approval are routed to your delegate when the approval rule deployed uses a custom approval chain.
• Journal entry, sales order, vendor bill, expense, and purchase Approvers can also delegate approval authority.

When you delegate approval, your approval limits apply.
