This user-guide will assist you with assigning a substitute Approver when an Approver is unable to tend to the carts/documents assigned to them, i.e. vacation, personal leave, etc., the Approver may “Assign” a Substitute Approver. The Substitute Approver will receive all future orders until the Approver unassigns the Substitute. When there is not a secondary approver on a workflow step and/or department rule, to ensure requisitions are processed in the approver’s absence, the approver can assign a substitute approver.
