Approving Timesheets

If you are a supervisor or are chosen as an approver for a timesheet, you can use the Timesheets application to approve timesheets. (You can also view and approve timesheets from the Approvals application. For information about approving a timesheet from the Approvals application, see Approving Timesheets from the Approvals Tab.)

TO approve an individual timesheet:

Open the Timesheets application.
If you have not changed your default Timesheets view, your current timesheet is displayed.
Note: For more information on changing the default view, see Changing the Default Timesheets View.
Click More Views on the tab toolbar, then click Timesheets Pending Approval.

Click the Actions icon then click Approve Timesheet.
Note: You can also approve a timesheet from the timesheet details: click the time period of a timesheet, then click Approve.

TO approve timesheets in bulk:

In the Timesheets application, click More Views on the tab toolbar, then click Timesheets Pending Approval.

Select the timesheets you want to approve.

Once you approve a timesheet, it is locked and the owner (submitter) cannot edited it. If the timesheet owner needs to change any information on an approved timesheet, you need to reopen the timesheet. You can only reopen a timesheet if you are a resource manager or supervisor of the timesheet owner. For detailed information, see Reopening Timesheets.
