PO Approvals Process when Approver is out

I have a situation where the sole PO Approval person is out of the office. I’m being asked to approve the PO, but according to NIST (and one day CMMC), as an IT administrator, I shouldn’t be approving these.

I know my refusal to do this will result in emails and meetings about how to handle this, so I’m wondering how this is handled in your respective companies. I have some thoughts, but would appreciate some ideas on the cleanest way to handle this without sharing passwords.

Thanks in advance.

On the Buyer record, you can add another Authorized User to be the approver, either you or someone else. No password sharing required.

What we tried to do was to log the Authorized User table to show the addition AND the subsequent removal so the action was recorded and auditable.

In this scenario, the request should be forwarded to respective user. If it has been already forwarded to main user then other authorized user can’t act on it.
