When an employee, such as a sales rep, transitions to a new manager and the Employee record is updated, NetSuite manages approvals and workflows based on the configuration of the approval routing and workflow settings. In the context of expense approvals, even if the employee record is updated immediately to reflect a new manager, the existing expense approvals that are already in the queue remain with the previous supervisor. This is because these approvals are typically associated with the manager at the time the expense was submitted. Changes in supervisor assignments generally do not retroactively affect approvals already in process unless specifically configured to do so. Regarding commissions, these are usually calculated based on sales attribution and territory assignments as of the sales transaction date and do not typically shift due to changes in management unless explicitly re-assigned or recalculated.
