As a cost object owner, you can delegate approval permissions to a colleague in Manager > Cost objects.

Choose the corresponding company and cost object if you are an approver for multiple entities and/or cost objects. 

Select the user you want to appoint as delegate and an optional expiry date. If you set an expiry date, approval permissions automatically revert to the cost object owner after this date.

Confirm your changes by clicking Save.

Your delegate can see the delegated expense reports in My tasks, Approvals tab or in Manager > Approvals.

If you display the Current approvers column, you can see both the cost object owner and the delegate as approvers.

In the History section at the bottom of each expense report, the delegate who approved the expense is displayed as ”Approved on behalf of line manager User B“.
