For admins: reassigning an expense to another manager for approval
Admins have the option to add an additional layer to the approval flow by assigning each employee a manager in SVB T&E. Once you've assigned employees a manager, any expense they submit will first appear in the manager's inbox for approval. Once approved by the manager, the expenses will be sent to the Admin's inbox for final approval.
*Once an expense is Manager Approved it can no longer be re-assigned. The expense will follow the approval route in place at the time of Manager approval, regardless of changes made to an expense post approval.
Occasionally, expenses may need to be routed to another manager for first approval. In this case, either the admin or the manager can reassign the manager on a per expense basis. In the expense detail, just click the "reassign" button:
