How You Reassign Pending Approvals and Invalid Supervisor Assignments

A manager assignment can become inactive due to the end of an assignment or work term, termination, or global transfer. So you need to reassign direct reports and correct any invalid supervisory assignments that result due to an inactive assignment.

If the manager has any pending approval notifications, you must reassign those too.

You can run the Reassign Pending Approvals for Terminations and Correct Invalid Supervisor Assignments process in the Scheduled Processes work area to reassign the direct reports and pending approval notifications of a manager who's either terminated or globally transferred. You can skip the step of reassigning pending notifications if you want to. 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.

• It reassigns pending approval notifications based on the number of days you specify. For example, if you specify 30 days, the process reassigns pending approvals of workers or managers terminated in the past 30 days.
