Possibility to set up a delegation process in the S/4 H Cloud purchase flow approval workflow

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am Nicolas Bismuth, project director for a new S/4H Cloud project in the logistic industry.

The project team did not find any S/4H Cloud delegation process in the purchase flow approval workflow.

Can anyone confirm that this functionality is not available in S/4H Cloud?

Is there any workaround recommended by SAP?

Thank you for your help !

Best regards

Hello

This is available.

Got to the 'My Inbox' app, then click on the 'me' icon (the little person icon in the top left of the Fiori Lauch Pad), there you will see an option named 'Manage my substitutes', you will be able to manage your substitutes for planned periods (eg, vacation, travelling...) and unplanned periods (eg: sick leave).

Hope this helps.

Just to add - it is also critical that you get this set up early on - as once a workflow has landed in the inbox of someone who is on leave, you can't access it if they don't have at least an unplanned substitute maintained

Is there any description or limit of actions in the different task group listed in this app ?

- All Task Groups

- Functional

- Disciplinary

- All

Thank you

Hi

we have used the 'planned and unplanned substitute' functionality available in the Inbox app.

The user can allocate a delegate in this way. Look in the 'inbox' app, then click on the ID icon, 'more' and then 'Manage my substitutes'. We have used this for delegation ( Planned ) and for unexpected absence ( unplanned )

Hope this helps
