Setting Up Department Approvers
Only users with Administrator roles or custom permissions can set up Department Approver records. For more information, see Creating or Customizing Roles for SuiteApprovals.
You can require approval from an employee who's authorized to approve records for a department. To select an employee as a department approver, you must set up a record for that employee. You can only have one department approver per department, or combination of department and subsidiary.
Before you set up department approvers, make sure you've enabled the Departments feature. For more information, see Enabling Prerequisite Features for SuiteApprovals.
