Approve as Administrator
Users who have the Budget Planning Admin checkbox selected on the User Setup page can approve budget set approval requests. Budget set approval requests can be approved on the G/L Budget Sets and Budget pages, using the Approve as Administrator action. The action appears when there are budget sets that have the Status of Pending Approval.
When the Approve as Administrator action is chosen, all approval entries on the Approval Entries page, that have a Status of Open are approved and the Approved as Administrator checkbox is selected. Approved By is populated with the User ID of the budgeting and planning administrator.
Note
Note:
The Approval Administrator checkbox on the Approval User Setup page is not used for budget set approvals because budget approvers typically do not approve transaction data.
