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 task assignment and distributed to the project plan. The Post Timesheets job performs the posting automatically. The 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, calculates the percent complete for tasks and projects. The percentage complete calculation method is based on the value selected for each project.

See the Administration Guide for more information.

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

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Home, and from Personal, click Timesheets.

    The timesheets list page appears.

  2. Filter for submitted timesheets.
  3. Open the desired timesheet.

    The timesheet page appears.

  4. Click Approve.

    The timesheet is approved.
