Setting Up Group Approvers
Only users with Administrator roles or roles with custom permissions can set up group approver records. For more information, see Creating or Customizing Roles for SuiteApprovals.
You can require approval from one or all members of a specific group of employees. To add Group (Any) and Group (All) approver types to an approval matrix, you must first set up group records.
For guidelines and procedures for creating group records, read Working with Groups.
Guidelines for Setting Up Group Approvers
Take note of the following guidelines for group approvers:
-
To avoid errors when adding these approver types to approval chains, ensure that employee records of group members are active.
-
Inactive employees, employees from different subsidiaries, or those without login access are considered invalid members. These employees will not be added as approvers when the group they belong to is selected as group approver.
-
You can set an approver’s access to one or more subsidiaries to allow cross-subsidiary approvals. For more information, see Setting Approvers' Access to Subsidiaries for SuiteApprovals.
-
You do not need to create groups based on roles. For more information, see Setting Up Role Approvers.
