Budget holders and Oracle Financial approvers: setting vacation rules

08 Apr 2022

Setting approval delegations for planned absence

As we approach the Easter period, a reminder to all approvers that if you have annual leave booked, please ensure that you have set a Vacation Rule within Oracle Financials to re-assign any approvals to a delegate (another Approver within your area) for the period you are away.

This will ensure that:

  • iProcurement requisitions are automatically sent to your delegate to review in line with budget holder responsibilities
  • Staff Expenses claims are automatically sent to your delegate to review in line with budget holder responsibilities

Additionally, for any travel bookings which may require approval on the Key Travel system, please add your delegate contact details to your out of office message. This means that the booker/traveller can contact your delegate to obtain approval in your absence, and this can then be sent for process approval to the Travel Helpdesk.

Our guidance document will show you how to set a Vacation Rule on Oracle Financials.
