This activity is used to define substitutes to authorize the postings of the supplier invoices on behalf of the invoice authorizers, when the authorizer is absent or when another person is required to authorize the postings. Users with super access can enter substitutes for all authorizers, while other users can only enter substitutes for themselves and authorizers of whom they are the superior authorizers. Only existing posting authorizers can be defined as substitutes. You can define several substitutes for an authorizer, but it will not be possible to define several substitutes for the same time period.
The substitute should already exist as a posting authorizer.
A substitute will be created for a selected authorizer for the specified period. It will be possible for the substitute to authorize postings of the invoices that belong to the authorizer he or she is replacing during the specified period.
