Delegating Travel and Expense Responsibilities

   Overview   

You have the option to set another employee as a delegate. A delegate is someone you authorize to create documents on your behalf. You can have as many delegates as you prefer. Delegates have the ability to create, edit, and submit Travel Authorizations and the ability to create and edit Expense Reports.

Note: Delegates will not be able to submit Expense Reports on your behalf. Expense Reports must be submitted by the person that incurred the expenses to certify that they are correct.

This article will show you how to authorize a delegate to create and edit travel documents on your behalf in the UGA Financial Management System.
