Requirement to Create Expense Reports on Behalf of Employees Without Delegate Access

Hi Team,

We are currently working on the Expenses module and have received a business requirement from our customer to allow certain users to create expense reports on behalf of employees.

We are aware of the Manage Delegates functionality; however, this option requires the employee to explicitly grant permission to another user (typically a manager or higher authority) to act on their behalf. In our case, the business requirement is to enable designated users (such as finance or admin users) to apply expenses on behalf of employees without requiring the employee’s prior approval or delegation.

Could you please advise if there is any standard configuration, role-based access, or alternative solution available in Oracle Fusion Expenses to meet this requirement? If not, we would appreciate your guidance on any possible workaround or recommended approach.
