The ability to redirect an approval is possible in some approval setups, but it all depends on which type of approver you are using. It is also determined separately on each stage of approval.
For Purchase Invoice Register (PIR), you can use the redirect option on an approval stage if the Approver Type on that stage is set to:
Selected By Value
Selected From View
Selected From User List
If you are using one of the above types, you can enable the Allow Redirect function on the approval stage by ticking the Allow Redirect checkbox:
Log in to FocalPoint Administrator.
Click System Options > Purchasing > Invoice Register Options.
On the Approval tab, under each stage individually, tick the Allow Redirect checkbox.
This allows users to transfer approval to another available approver. Both users must be part of the same approval stage — for example, a stage one approver can only redirect to other stage one approvers. If redirect is not available or not suitable, the alternatives are:
Using the Out of Office function.
Setting relevant security profiles with third-party approval rights.
Rejecting the approval and re-submitting to a different approver. Note: This will only be possible if your approval setup allows you to choose an approver.
