About Timesheet Approvals

The Approvals module is designed for managers (and managers of managers) as a personal view listing of all Timesheet entries submitted by employees for approval, either by employees directly managed by you (or by your manager) 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.
