Delegating Approval Authority

Are you an approver of requisitions and will be out of the office for an extended period of time? If this is the case, use the following steps to delegate your approval authority to another user so your agency can continue to make purchases in your absence. To delegate approval authority, click on the ‘Preferences’ link from the NC E-Procurement homepage and select ‘Delegate Your Approval Authority’. The user will need to select a user from their Entity in NC E-Procurement to approve the requisitions as the ‘Delegate’. Next, select the dates to be absent from the office. Delegation approval flows are automatically created to require approval from the user’s supervisor and the user to whom approval authority is being granted. Approvals are required before the delegation is effective and the request is not activated until it is fully approved. Additionally, the Delegated Approver can only approve items received during the delegation time period.
 
Note: When entering the dates the user will be away, be sure to end the delegation on the day the user intends to return to the office. For example, if the user will be out of the office from Monday, December 20th through Friday, December 24th, the user should enter the start date as Monday, December 20th and enter the end date as Monday, December 27th, since this is the date that the user will actually return to the office.
