Does the delegation exist for approval when for the approver is not available?

Dear all,

Is it possible to active a delegation for approval only when the responsible approver is not available? 

We found the following possibilities that don't totally fit our needs:

> Put multiple approvers on the workflow

> Copy the workflow with a different person during a certain period

Both cases need the action of the administrator each time the change is needed... And the approval should be under the responsability of only one person.

Any help?

Thank you in advance

Ingrid

Hi - we used the 'passive' substitution for this. Each approver had to nominate a passive approver who could step in when needed. rgds Irene

Thank you Irene. I have seen another answer concerning this same topic using 'manage my substitute' and it works. Is the solution you present the same App? In case not, could you please give me the steps to activate the passive substitution?

Hi Ingrid,

You can go to 'My Inbox' app. The user can click on their user in the top left of the Fiori Launchpad and then go to "Manage My Substitutions" to assign a substitute.There are two options:

'Planned' can be used to assign a substitute for a specific date range (say planned vacation).

'Unplanned' can be assigned to cover unplanned leaves or absence.

Hope this helps!

it's work, we tried, it's helps for sure 🙂 I am interested to know if the passive approver Irene spoke about is the same step or different
