Depending on how projects are setup
timesheets need to be approved by the
Project Manger or any Enterprise Manager
before the billable and non-billable hours
are included in time reports. By enforcing
timesheet approval the Project Manager is
forced to review timesheets submitted by
those working on the project and can, if
necessary adjust the billable hours before
the customer is invoiced.
The image below shows the interface from
where the Project Manager makes the
approval. In this example the Project
Manager has adjusted the billable hours to
4.00 resulting in non-billable hours of
1.03. The Project Manager can also reject
the timesheet. If a timesheet is rejected
the user who submitted it is forced to
resubmit it.
When new projects are setup you have the
option of defining how timesheets are
going to be approved. You may, for
instance, say that only timesheets from
users with a Project Member role must be
approved. Doing so automatically approve
all timesheets from users with Enterprise
Manager and Project Manger role but force
the Project Manager to approve the
timesheet from Project Members.
