Timesheets › How to Approve and Analyze Timesheets › Approve Submitted Timesheets

Approve Submitted Timesheets

You can approve timesheets from the timesheets list page or from the open timesheet. When you post an approved timesheet, the actuals from the timesheets are posted against the resource assignment and distributed to the project plan. The posting is done automatically by the Post Timesheets job. This job updates the value of the Actuals Thru date field on the resource assignment properties page. When you post actuals, the Update % Complete job runs and calculates the % complete for tasks and projects based on the value of % Complete Calculation Method for each project.

Note: See the Administration Guide for more information.

Posting processes the the actuals (recorded number of hours worked) against a resource assignment and updates the remaining work (ETC). This data is recorded in the project plan so that project managers can compare actuals with estimates, and modify their plan as needed.
