How do I assign Invoice Approvals to another User?

Assign invoices to a new user using the Workflow Process Tool

If a user is unable to attend invoice approval requests due to a temporary or permanent leave, you can use the workflow process tool to assign their invoices to another user.

Doing this will route existing and future invoices to this person.

In order to reassign invoices to another user, you must be in the eBilling Manager and Workflow Process Manager security groups.

Reassigning Individual Invoices

As a process manager on the My Workflow Processes pages, you can reassign an invoice from one approver to another in the following situations:

A request is not yet completed (In Progress page).
A request has an error (Failed Actions page).
A request expired (Attention Required page).
A request has a rejection (Attention Required page).

To reassign an invoice

Go to the My Workflow Processes page by selecting Workflow Processes from the All drop-down list on the system navigation menu.
Click Attention Required or In Progress in the left sidebar menu, depending on whether the process has an issue or not.
The list of processes is displayed. Check off all of the invoices you want to reassign, then click the Reassignment icon for the process that you want to reassign.
The Reassignment page displays for that process.
For each stop where reassignment is necessary, select the Reassignment Action and then select the user to whom you want to reassign the approval request.
If you are reassigning an expired process or stop to the same user, select Assign again.
If necessary, click Show Approval History to review the previous events in the process.
When you finish selecting assignees, click OK.
The new approvers are notified of the request in their My Approvals page, and receive an email if their notifications are set accordingly.
The reassignment now appears in the request log when you click the View icon.

Reassigning All Requests for a User

Use the Reassignment page to bulk reassign invoice approvals from one user to another. The Reassignment tool allows workflow process managers to temporarily or permanently reassign invoices.

Note: If you try to reassign Request A from User 1 to User 2 when both users are required in the same stop, the reassignment does not happen until User 2 has approved the request. When User 2 approves Request A, TeamConnect reassigns the same request from User 1 to User 2, and User 2 must approve again.

Warning: Avoid including reassignment entries that create a circular logic and assign the same request back to the original assignee. For example, if you have a reassignment entry that reassigns Request A from User 1 to User 2 and another entry that reassigns Request A from User 2 to User 3, and an entry that reassigns Request A from User 3 to User 1, it creates a circular logic that does not end until you delete one of the entries.

To reassign approval requests temporarily

From the Temporary Reassignment section, enter information for a reassignment entry. Refer to the Temporary Reassignment table for more information about these fields.
Click Add to save the request.
