#About Delegations
Out-of-office / substitute approvers — covered approvals also surface in the delegate. This is a working page: a list or workspace where you find and act on records in BSuit ERP (Workflow Automation). It is used by staff (internal users). What you can see and do depends on your role and permissions.
#How to open it
In BSuit ERP, open Workflow Automation and choose “Delegations”, or go directly to the address /workflow-automation/delegations.
#What you can do here
These controls are present in the page’s implementation. Whether you see a given one also depends on your permissions and on the data shown.
- Add new records — a form opens for the details.
- Change existing records.
- Delete records (you are asked to confirm).
- Bring records in from a file.
- Export what you see to a file.
- Submit, approve or reject through a workflow.
- Print or save as PDF.
- Attach or upload files.
- Search within the page.
- Filter the data shown.
- Sort by a column.
- Page through long lists.
- Open dialogs or drawers for detail and confirmation.
#Fields
When you enter or change a delegation, these fields are on the form. Required fields must be completed before you can save. 2 of them are reference fields: you pick an existing record from another master rather than typing a value.
| Field | Type | Required | Details | Refers to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delegator (user id) | select | Yes | Example: User whose approvals are covered. | List loaded from /api/security/users |
| Delegate to (user id) | select | Yes | Example: Substitute approver. | List loaded from /api/security/users |
| Effective from | date | No | — | — |
| Effective to | date | No | — | — |
| Reason | textarea | No | Example: e.g., Annual leave. | — |
| Active | checkbox | No | Default: true. | — |

#How to add a delegation
Steps follow this page’s form. You need permission to create records here.
- Open Workflow Automation › Delegations from the menu.
- Choose the Add button (a plus icon) above the list.
- Complete the required fields: Delegator (user id), Delegate to (user id).
- Save. The new record appears in the list; use search or the filters to find it again.
- To change it later, open the record from the list and edit it.
- Deleting asks you to confirm. Records that other records refer to may be refused or may affect them (see “Where … is used as a reference”).
#Observed on a running system
On 2026-09-21 this page was opened in a browser as a test administrator and did not load cleanly: shows an error.
#If something is missing or fails
- No data: confirm the company or context selected in the top bar, and any filters or date range in use.
- An action is hidden or disabled: it usually needs a permission your role does not have. Ask an administrator to check your effective access.
- An error message appears: note the message, the page address and what you were doing, and contact support with those details (never include passwords).
