Sometimes, cross-functional approvals are signed by different team leads and sometimes approvals don’t follow the regular workflow, instead, they are processed by designated approvers.
In either situation, if your approval or expense request does not go through your line manager or dotted-line manager, you may select from a list of designated approvers.
If the approver is not in the list of designated approvers, please save your approval or expense request draft first and ask the HR Staff to set the designated approver in the HR tool, then you can resume your approval process by selecting the approver for your request.
