Setting up employees to authorise on behalf of other authorisers

Accountants Enterprise with Practice Manager only

Employees who are set up to authorise a bill or timesheet are not always available. To enable bills or timesheets to be processed, you must set up another employee to authorise on their behalf.

The authority is usually set up when you complete Step 8 of the Create Employee Wizard. You can also set up and modify employee authorities outside the wizard using the Employee page > Authorisation tab.
