Features

Approving managers can use this service (application) to define substitution rules to designate other approving managers as substitutes for limited periods of time. The system displays the substitution rules of the approving manager as well as the substitution rules of other approving managers that apply to him or her.

Within the validity period of a substitution rule, substitutes are able to display and approve the trips and expenses of the employees. Once an approving manager or one of his or her substitutes approves or rejects a travel request, travel plan, or expense report, that request no longer appears in the worklist.

Integration

Approving managers start this application from within the Approval of Trips and Expenses application.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for Approval of Trips and Expenses apply here as well.

Configuration

Approval of Trips and Expenses features criteria fast maintenance, which an approving manager can use to select which of the following requests should be displayed:

  • Requests of the employees in his or her own employee list

  • Requests of the employees of the approving manager he or she is substituting for

  • Requests of the employees in his or her employee list and the employees of the approving managers he or she is substituting for
