Fallback approval is triggered occurs when the "natural" approver for an expense cannot approve itsomeone cannot approve a cost card and there are no other cost approvers. For example, if the Project Manager is supposed to approve expenses, and submits one of her own expenses - a problem occurs. She cannot approve her own expenses, so who is going to do it? In this case Projector uses what we call Fallback Approval. The Sally is the project manager and a project is set to PM approval. Sally is not allowed to approve her own cost. If Sally cannot do it, who can? Projector uses fallback approval. The fallback approvers consist of the following people:

Acting PM Team
The PM team consists of the engagement manager, project manager, and anyone marked Can Act as PM. Fallback approval can be triggered if your "team" consists of only one person (one person is the EM, PM, and nobody Can Act as PM).

The approvers consist of the following people:
- Users
- User marked as the
Direct Manager for Cost - Expense Approver on the resource's profile
- Users with the cost center permission Approve Expenses on Projects with Cost Center-Based Approval

Fallback approval cannot be triggered in this case since your fallback approvers are the same people as outlined here. |
