Difference between My Procurement Substitutes and Manage Substitute rules

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have question regarding SRM 7.0 Substitution for Shopping cart approval workflow. We have defined Process Controlled Workflow (BRF) for Shopping carts.

There are two ways substitution which i am seeing.

1) Go under Personalization --> User Account --> "My Procurement Substitutes" and then add Person as substitute.

2) Under Work item There is tab called "Manage Substitution Rules"

Could you please advise what would be suitable option to place Substitution once some approver is going on vacation...

Thank you

Ritesh
