Is it possible to set up a workgroup in TP to approve documents that use specific accounts?


It is not possible to utilize the Workgroup function in this manner, however, it is possible to establish a delegate to the Fiscal Officer. There are two types of delegates that exist in the FIS; they are delegates and primary delegates. As a delegate, one can access the Fiscal Officer's inbox to approve documents on his or her behalf. As a primary delegate, documents would not route to the Fiscal Officer, but would route to the primary delegate instead. An account may have only one primary delegate, but may have any number of delegates.

It is also possible to establish an additional routing hierarchy for your organization using the Review Hierarchy document. This document allows you to insert people or workgroups into the routing chain within your organization. (For example: if you have a person who creates documents, which should route to that person's supervisor before routing to a Fiscal Officer, you could use the Review Hierarchy document to place the supervisor in the routing chain.) Please remember that this routing  is established by organization rather than by account.

If you need assistance in determining the appropriate steps to take that will enable you to route your documents as you would like, please contact the FMS Customer Service department with the FMS Support Form .
