Approve a Timesheet

You can approve a timesheet if the timesheet approval workflow is enabled and you have the appropriate approval role.

The Approve option is available on the Timesheets form when:

• The timesheet was submitted.
• The approval workflow for timesheet is enabled.
• You have the appropriate approval role based on the approval workflow.
• Approve is applicable for the current status as configured in the approval workflow.

To approve a timesheet:

1. In the Navigation pane, go to the My Stuff section and select Timesheets.
2. Use the search field above the Timesheets form to search for and select the timesheet that you want to review. You can use the All Pending Approval search filter to find and open the timesheet. If you can access other employees' timesheets, this filter shows even if you are not responsible for approvals. If you can only access your own timesheets, this filter only shows when you have timesheets to approve.
3. Review the timesheet and click Approve. If the timesheet workflow state is In Review, the button may be labeled Restart Approval, depending on the approval step's review action setting. You can click to view information about the timesheet workflow state.
4. Enter an optional comment in the Approve dialog box and click Approve.
