About Timesheet Approvals

The Approvals module is designed for managers as a personal view listing of all Timesheet entries submitted by employees for approval, either by employees directly managed by you or resources assigned to work items in projects you manage.

Approving a Timesheet is a contributing factor for completing a work item’s life-cycle , where the Timesheet updates a work item's actual efforts within projects. Once approval is granted, the hours are reflected in the related project and percentage complete is shown on individual work items.
Reopening a submitted or approved Timesheet entry enables making additional changes or corrections.
