Dear colleagues,
As we prepare for Chrome River deployment, you will learn that some functionality you’re used to in TEM is under a different name in the new system. Proxy function in TEM is called a Delegate in Chrome River. Here's a refresher on the benefits of having a Delegate.
What is a Chrome River Delegate?
A Chrome River delegate can:
- create expense reports,
- reconcile expenses, and
- request reimbursements on behalf of another user, as well as access their Settings menu, Home Screen, and Inquiry Reports.
The delegate will receive copies of any email notifications regarding rejection or adjustment of reports created for the user. However, the delegate will not be able to approve expenses that are routed to the user. More than one delegate may be assigned, if necessary.
Types of Delegates
There are two types of delegates in Chrome River; Delegates and Approval Delegates.
- Delegate
- User can have multiple delegates
- Delegate can create a pre-approval or an expense report for another employee
- Approval Delegate
- User can have only one approval delegate
- Approval delegates can approve on behalf of the manager or charge code reviewer in his/her absence
Each delegate will need to be assigned in Chrome River. The current proxies in TEM will not be transferred to the new system. Now is a perfect time to evaluate if you have the correct individuals assigned to an Approval Delegate role, so that when Chrome River is live you can update the system accordingly.
