Setting Up Department Approvers
Only users with Administrator roles or roles with custom permissions can set up Department Approver records. For more information, see Creating or Customizing Roles for SuiteApprovals.
You can require approval from an employee who is authorized to approve records for a department. To select an employee as a department approver, you must first set up a record for that employee. You can set up only one department approver per department, or combination of department and subsidiary.
Before you set up department approvers, ensure that you have the Departments feature enabled. For more information, see Enabling Prerequisite Features for SuiteApprovals.
