> In Weplanify, let a manager or a timekeeper submit an advance or loan request on an employee's behalf; the request then follows the usual circuit.

In Weplanify, an advance request can be submitted by someone other than the employee concerned: this is delegation, useful for employees without a phone or not used to the app.

## Steps

1. In **Payroll and costs → Advances & loans**, open the **More actions** menu and choose **Submit for another**.
2. **Delegation** tab: turn on **Submit on behalf of another employee**.
3. Under **Who can submit for another?**, tick **Managers**, **Timekeepers** or **Administrators**. None ticked = everyone.
4. Narrow down the **Selectable employees** if needed, then click **Save**.

## Good to know

- In [Requests → To handle](https://weplanify.io/docs/validations.a-traiter?lang=en), the line shows "for" followed by the employee's name; on approval, the advance is created for them, not for the person who submitted it.
- **Fields** tab: **Add a field** adds a question to the request form, on mobile and web alike.
- The request follows the advances [approval circuit](https://weplanify.io/docs/validations.circuit?lang=en). For expense claims, the setting is in each [expense type](https://weplanify.io/docs/couts.types?lang=en); see also [grant an advance or a loan](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.avances-prets?lang=en).
