After employees submit records such as timesheets and expense reports for approval, an approver can approve them in the Approval Center.
Records must be approved only if your system administrator has enabled approvals for that record type. The different record types include timesheets, line items from timesheets, expense reports, line items from expense reports, and absence requests.
To approve a record that an employee has submitted:
-
In the Navigation pane, select
.
-
In the search field at the top of the Approval Center form, select a record type.
-
To see only those records that require approval (or rejection), set
My Action Required to
Approve.
If you instead set this option to
None, all records that do not require action are displayed, including those that have completed the approval process.
