Edit Absence Settings
Location:
The workflow of transactions is controlled with the Absence Settings. When the Absence Settings have been set, transactions are moved for workflow processing to the selected backup person. A transaction is transferred to the backup person, if the original processor is absent for such a long time that he/she cannot process the transaction in time before the due date, or the transaction has not been processed within the time frame that was reserved for it. For more information on backup processing, see Backup Person Practices, and for more information on transaction processing time, see Processing Time of Workflow Steps.
On the Absence Settings screen, you can define the start and end date of your absence and your backup person. If your user profile includes the right Absence Settings, Other Users, you can specify absence times and backup persons for other users. You can do this by selecting a person in User Browsing in the Absence Settings screen and saving the absence dates and backup information.
You can define a general backup person to be used for transactions of all companies and company-specific backup persons. For more information on defining backup persons, see The Functions of the Users-page.
