Overrides for Manager Approval, Manager ID, and Auditor ID

In addition to setting up the rules for routing messages for each expense report type, you can also specify the overrides using these options:

  • Manager Approval Override

    Selecting this option specifies that a manager must approve all expense reports for the expense report type specified, regardless of the setting in the group profile or the employee profile.

  • Auditor Approval Override

    Selecting this option specifies that an auditor must approve all expense reports for the expense report type specified, regardless of how the policy is set up. For example, you might want to require an audit of all relocation expenses without having to set up individual limits for each expense category in the policy.

  • Override Manager ID

    Selecting this option specifies that a manager different from the manager or organizational structure that you specified in the employee profile must approve expense reports. The system displays the corresponding field for the approver ID that you use to enter the address book number of the approving manager. This option overrides only the approving manager for the expense report type specified.

    Note: The address book number that you specify cannot be a distribution list.
  • Override Auditor ID

    Selecting this option specifies that an auditor different from the auditors defined in the distribution list for address book number 7372 receive messages. The system displays the corresponding field for Auditor Approver ID, which you use to enter the address book number of the auditor or distribution list of auditors. The system is hard-coded to send messages to the distribution list associated with address book number 7372 unless you select this option and specify another address book number. This option overrides the auditor for the expense report type specified.

    Note: To override the auditor to whom messages should be sent, regardless of expense report type, enter a value in the corresponding processing option for the Expense Entry program (P09E2011).

    If you enter an address book number that is a distribution list, you must set up the members of the list in the organization structure for structure type ERA.
