Booking In a Delegated File (Desktop)
What it is: The process a team member follows to receive and open a client file that has been delegated to them by a manager or partner.
What it's for
Delegation allows a manager to send a subset of working papers from a master client file to a team member (e.g., a preparer or junior auditor). Booking in the delegation file imports it into the recipient's client list so they can work on the sections assigned to them — without seeing the rest of the file.
How to do it
- On the Client List screen, go to Delegation and select Book in Delegation.
- Browse to and select the delegation file (.dxo) that was sent to you.
- When prompted, select No to keep a copy of the delegation file (do not delete it).
- The delegated client file now appears on your Client List, marked with a down arrow (↓).
- Open the delegated file to begin working.
- Only the working papers that were delegated to you will be visible inside the file.
