Understanding Approvals and Delegations in Compensation

eCompensation Manager Desktop provides approval and access role delegation transactions that can be implemented to allow an individual to specify a proxy to act on their behalf. For compensation cycles, when an access role is delegated and the proxy accepts the delegation, the system initiates the Maintain Delegated Role Access process to load the proxies into the cycle access roles structure.

Using the Approvals Framework with Compensation allows you to implement your own set of approvals rules. The system enables you to define as many levels of approvals as you want; or you can decide to not have any level of approvals (auto approve).

Compensation delivers an Approval Process ID as system data, which handles Compensation-specific validations and code needed to integrate with AWE. Compensation also delivers a set of functional rules called Approval Definition IDs. These functional rules were created to demonstrate and test the product integration to AWE. You can define your own set of approval rules that fit your own business process needs.

For Delegations the system enables eCompensation Manager Self Service users to delegate tasks regarding compensation. For instance a submitter can provide the ability to delegate their task to someone within or outside their hierarchical organization. In addition, a reviewer can delegate a task to another individual within the organization.

The Allocate Compensation - Select Activities by Cycle page allows you to select an activity for which another individual has given you authority to work on.
