How You Can Regularly Reassign Pending Approvals for Workers That Become Inactive

A manager assignment can become inactive due to the end of an assignment or work term, termination, or global transfer. If the manager has any pending approval notifications, you must reassign them.

Run this process: Run Reassign Pending Approvals for Terminations and Correct Invalid Supervisor Assignments Process in the Scheduled Processes work area. You can set a schedule to run it at least once a day. You can run it more frequently if you want things updated faster.

Here's what the process does:

  • It reassigns the direct reports of a terminated manager to that person's line manager and also assigns any pending notifications to the line manager. Only actionable notifications will be reassigned.

  • It reassigns pending approval notifications based on the number of days you specify using the Past Period in Days Considered for Reassigning Pending Approvals parameter.
