  4. All new requests will go to the new manager and existing requests pending with the current manager will also be transferred to the new manager
  5. The new manager will get an alert informing him of the change
  6. Manager mapping can be updated in bulk through excel upload also. Refer "Updating master data in bulk" article for more details.

Mapping "Self" as Manager
Sometimes in a company there are employees at a senior level who do not report to the CEO or MD. There are two ways to handle this scenario
a) leave the manager of these employees as blank - this is not the preferred option as system will these employees as not having any manager and for any process where manager's approval is needed system will stop the employee and give a message "Manager not defined"
b) map "Self" as the manager - in the manager drop-down the first entry is "Self", if we map an employee to "Self" then system will treat the employee to be his own manager. All the processes where approver role is mapped to manager will now get auto approved, however system will stop you from submitting your resignation

Employees cannot be mapped to "Self" as manager in the following scenarios
- if his employee type is "Trainee"
- if his employment status is "On Probation"

If HR changes from an existing manager to "Self" then all requests pending for approval with the manager will get auto approved.

If this employee resigns then all the employee's mapped to this employee will be mapped to App Admin.
