When you delegate approval authority to another user, Ariba Buyer emails notification messages to the delegate, and allows the delegate to log in as you, to approve requests on your behalf.

You can remove the delegation at any time before it expires.

1. Select a user to whom to delegate your approval authority. You cannot delegate to more than one user at a time. If a delegation is already in effect, specify a different user.
2. Indicate the date on which the delegation should start, and the date on which it should end. On these dates, the delegate begins receiving your email notification messages, and stops receiving them.
3. Enter an explanation of why you are delegating your approval authority.
4. Indicate whether you want to receive notification messages during the delegation period, even though your delegate will receive the same messages and act on them on your behalf. When unchecked, you will not receive approval notification messages until the delegation has ended.
5. Click Next to view the approval flow for your request or click Summary to review and submit the request.
