Setting up delegate (out of office/leave)

Setting up delegate (out of office/leave)

If you will be out of the office or on leave, you can set up a delegate to handle your approvals during your absence. To do so, start on the Coupa home screen:


Click on "Set up out of office/delegate"

Then set up the delegate, click "Create" 

Select the following options or not by checking the box:

You can have the system turn off notifications while you are out

You can have the system notify you when things are approved on your behalf. 

You can delegate approvals and receipts (choose one or both)

When assigning a delegate in Coupa, they must be an active Coupa user with an equal or higher approval status than your own. - For example, if you are a General Manager (GM), you must delegate to another GM or higher, as Assistant General Managers (AGMs) do not have the necessary approval authority to act on your behalf.

Choose your start and end dates and reason for delegation.
