In office operations, a supervisor or manager sometimes has to take time off, whether it is planned or for personal reasons.
At that time the manager may have difficulty do approval for some documents.
SAP Business One recognizes this and provides a new feature so that we can determine who is a temporary substitute authorizer for the manager.

Through this feature, we can determine:
- Who is the substitute?
- For which approval template?
- For how long?
From the example screen above, Jayson Buttler will be going on annual leave and will be temporarily replaced by Alex Torres to do approval on all templates, from December 7th until 14th, 2021.
