Approving an Item

Team members in PPM can request your approval on a document or dynamic application item they are creating or submitting. You may also need to approval a timesheet or resource request if you are a resource manager. Items waiting for your approval are listed in the Approvals application. Some approval requests allow you to add comments when you approve or decline the request, while others simply ask you to approve or decline the item.

Some approval requests require the approval of only one of the approvers, while others may require approval by all approvers. You should respond to approvals in a timely manner. An item may be held up until your approval, depending on how the approval is submitted.

Note: For timesheets, once you approve one it is locked and cannot be edited by the owner (the person who submitted it). If the owner needs to change the information on a timesheet you approved, you need to reopen the timesheet. For detailed information, see Reopening Timesheets.

TO APPROVE AN ITEM:

1. Open the Approvals tab.
2. A list of items submitted to you for approval displays.
3. Click the name of the item you want to approve. If you are approving a timesheet, click the name of the person who submitted the timesheet.
   An Approval window opens with a prompt asking you to approve or decline the item.
4. If the approval window includes a box for comments, add your comments in the Approver Comments box.
5. Click Approve to approve the item.
   Note: The approval request may still appear in the approvals list until you refresh the browser window.
