Understanding Timesheet Approvals

One of our customers recently asked PPM Works why the Timesheet Managers were seeing admin tasks listed separately in the Timesheet approvals and why they had to first approve the administrative time before seeing the timesheet in the approvals page. The answer lies in how you have your Administrative Categories configured.

In the screenshot below, the Vacation category requires approval.

When a resource submits a Timesheet that contains an Administrative task requiring approval the Timesheet Manager will first see the Administrative Time on the Approvals page. The submitted Timesheet is not visible.

Once the Administrative task that requires approval is accepted, the Timesheet will display on the approvals page.

Hope this helps in understanding timesheet approvals. Please contact us with questions.
