Reassign Approval Dialog Box

In this dialog box, you can specify the new approver to whom you want to reassign the selected record or records.

ElementDescription
New ApproverThe name of the employee to whom you want to reassign the selected record or records.
Ignore Approver's Delegations

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system will assign the selected records to the specified new approver but not to their delegate, even if the new approver is unavailable and has a delegation set up for the current date.

If the check box is cleared and if the new approver is not available and has a delegation set up for the current date, the system will reassign the selected records to the delegate if the delegate is available. If the delegate is unavailable, the system will reassign the requests to the delegate of the delegate. The system will continue the search in this way until it assigns an approver that has no active delegations set up for the current date or it detects a loop in the chain of delegations (in which case you will have to specify a different approver).

This dialog box has the following buttons.
ReassignCloses the dialog box and reassigns the selected record or records to the specified new approver if the reassignment of approvals is allowed in the related rule of the approval map on the Approval Maps (EP205015) form.
