Background: Substitute an Approver
Use the Approval Substitution (APRS) program to select a substitute approver for orders waiting for approval and print a report of orders to be approved. See Road Map for work flow.
If an approver is going on vacation or is going to be out sick, use this program to select a substitute—approvals are not held up while a person is away from their job. You can also you this program for permanent substitutions.
Make sure to change Approval Maintenance (APPM) as well so that new orders will be approved by the substitute. When the regular approver is back to work, you can change the approver back again, and if needed, run this program to change any pending approvals back to the regular approver.
The report includes:
Type of order
Order/Item number
Line number or engineering change level number
Type of approval required
Due date for approval
