Q: What is approval delegation?

A: Approval delegation involves temporary changes to approvers and approval workflow routing.

Designated department approvers or supervisors can choose to delegate their approval authority to another employee as needed. It is best practice to set up delegations when out of office or unable to approve transactions for an extended period of time. Link to delegation job aid.

Q: Who can create or update approval delegation rules?

A: Delegation rules (adding or removing approval delegates) must be completed by the employee that needs to delegate approval authority.

The Office of Continuous Improvement (OCI) cannot add, edit or remove approval delegations.

Q: Can I add someone to the approval workflow on an Ad Hoc basis?

A: Yes! Follow these instructions to add an Ad Hoc approver as needed.

Q: What’s the process to update the approver role when someone leaves their position?
