署理或委署原本运用于两任官员交替和一任官员任内的出缺代理,然而由于集权官僚体制运作的复杂性,署理在选拔优秀人才、新设州县官、督抚调动州县官、世袭职位接替和忠烈死后奉赠中也得到了广泛运用,逐渐成为一种重要的任官方式。但是署理没有实授那样有严格的制度规范与运作程序,在实践中存在着署任官任期短、威望不够、委署失当、投机钻营盛行以及督抚侵蚀、变相利用委署权等弊端,这些弊端也加剧了清代的吏治腐败和任官制度的紊乱。 However, due to the complexity of the operation of the centralized bureaucracy, the Acting Department or commission appoints new talents and sets up new magistrates and governors to mobilize magistrates and hereditary positions Succession and loyalty after his death have also been widely used, and have gradually become an important official style.

In practice, there are shortcomings such as short official tenure, insufficient prestige, misrepresentation, prevalent speculation and the erosion of the governor and the disguised use of the power of commission. Exacerbated the official corruption and official system turmoil in the Qing Dynasty.
