[Arun91]

Hi Team,

The requirement is we have a user XYZ whose manager is YYY. XYZ is acting as delegate for YYY. Now XYZ is creating the request it should skip the approval because requestor is acting as a delegate for his manager. In this case it should skip the approval. Kindly help me on this.

@Arun91 : How are you planning to implement the flow ? Flow Designer? Workflow?

@Arun91 : In flow, you can simply check if the submitter of the request is defined as a delegate to his manager by looking up the [sys_user_delegate] table. Below is the screenshot that helps you with the structure. We are here checking if submitter is defined as the delegate and submitter manager is defined as the user.
