Understanding Approvals and Delegations in Compensation
Approvals
Approvers of compensation proposals and ad hoc salary changes can approve or deny their pending requests using the Approvals tile. The system delivers setup to support the approval processes for the Allocate Compensation and Ad Hoc Salary Change transactions:
Approve Compensation Proposals
Adhoc Salary Change
These delivered approval transactions handle 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. The Approvals Framework provides you the flexibility to define your own set of approval rules that fit your business process needs. You can define as many levels of approvals as you want, or choose to not have any level of approvals (auto approve).

Delegations
Managers can delegate compensation proposal tasks to individuals in their organizations using Fluid Delegation. The system delivers these delegation transactions to provide managers the ability to specify proxies to act as reviewers, submitters, confirmers, or approvers of compensation proposals on their behalf:
Review Compensation Proposals
Submit Compensation Proposals
Confirm Compensation Proposals
Compensation Approvals
Note: When the proxy accepts the delegation as a reviewer, submitter, or confirmer, the administrator needs to run the Delegation Access Role process on the Maintain Delegated Role Access page process to load the proxy into the access role structure of the compensation cycle. This task is not needed for the Compensation Approvals delegation requests.
On the Allocate Compensation - Select a Compensation Activity Page, proxies can view and access activities for which they accepted the authority from delegators.
