Timesheet Approval Settings determine how a timesheet is handled when it is submitted by its owner. You can specify that no approvals are required, that the timesheet owner should choose the approvers when they submit their timesheet, or that a predefined policy should be used.

To configure timesheet approval settings:

  1. On the Administration Home page, under Enterprise Settings, click Timesheet Properties.
    The Timesheet Properties screen displays.
  2. Click Timesheet Approval Settings.
    The Timesheet Approval Settings page displays.
  3. Select the timesheet approval option for your PPM enterprise:
  4. None—Select this option if your organization does not require any approval of timesheets in PPM. With this option, a timesheet is immediately approved when it is submitted.
     
  5. Manual—Select this if your organization allows a timesheet owner to choose who should approve their timesheet. With this option, the timesheet owner is prompted to select one or more approvers each time they submit a timesheet.
     
  6. Automatic—If your organization has specific rules about who should review and approve timesheets, select Automatic and define the rules for how a submitted timesheet is handled. For more information about defining automatic timesheet approval rules, see Creating an Automatic Timesheet Approval Policy.
     
  1. Click Save to save the timesheet approval settings, or Cancel to discard your changes.
