Owners and approvers of awarding views

When the awarding view is finalized and budget calculations are run, budgets are created for all supervisors. Only the budget owners and the supervisors above them in the supervisor structure can access the salary awarding views. Supervisors below the budget owner cannot see their own budgets (for their own direct reports).

On the awarding view, you can specify any supervisor level as the supervisor level that owns the award budgets generated when the budget calculations are run for the compensation awarding view.

The supervisor level is a supervisor type (with a defined level number) associated with one or more supervisor roles in the supervisor structure. The HR administrator is responsible for setting up supervisor types and levels and associating them with supervisor roles in Infor HR Talent. Some organizations have a lower level number as you climb the supervisor structure. Other organizations have a higher level number as you climb the supervisor structure.

If you specify a budget owner supervisor level, you can also specify what method to use to assign an alternate budget owner if the supervisor level does not exist in the supervisor structure. If you do not select a supervisor-not-found method and the specified supervisor level is not found in the supervisor structure, the direct supervisors in the supervisor structure are assigned as the budget owners.

• If your organization has a lower level number as you climb the supervisor structure, you can select to have the next supervisor up in the supervisor structure with a lower level number assigned as the budget owner.

• If your organization has a higher level number as you climb the supervisor structure, you can select to have the next supervisor up in the supervisor structure with a higher level number assigned as the budget owner.

If the awarding view requires approval, the approval process also starts at the specified (or derived) supervisor level.

Budget owners can be reassigned after the award budgets are created. As long as awarding budgets are in Draft status (have not been submitted), the current budget owners can delegate budgets that they own to any supervisor higher than them in the supervisor structure branch that they belong to. They can also delegate budgets they own to a lower-level supervisor in the supervisor structure branch (but not lower than the resources' direct supervisor).
