Updating Reporting Structure


In this topic

Introduction

This topic describes how to update an employee’s approver for leave & expense reporting purposes.

This process does not allow you to create new flow chart positions or make other structural changes to your flow chart. If you need to make structural changes, refer to the Introduction help topic for more info.

Due to the complexity around potential Synchronise Timesheet configurations, this process does not currently allow the employee’s approver for timesheet purposes to be updated. To update an employee’s approver for timesheets, you will need to use the ‘Flow Chart’ Screen. Refer to the Introduction help topic for further details.

NOTE: In order to complete this process you must have the Flow Chart Administrator web role.

NOTE: Before starting this process, you should ensure that the employee has the relevant Leave User and/or Expense User web roles.
