Timesheet Line Item Approval Overview

The Timesheet Line Item Approval form enables principals, project managers, and/or supervisors to review and then approve or reject individual labor charges for their projects. They only see time charged to their individual projects, not actual employee timesheets.

Timesheet line item approval applies only to timesheet entries made using the Vision Time and Expense application.

To use this feature, your system administrator must first:

• Activate the feature in Timesheet Configuration.

• Select which projects require line item approval.

• Determine who can approve line item labor charges.

Depending on the configuration settings selected by your system administrator, one or more of the following persons might need to approve line item entries:

• Principals

• Project Managers

• Supervisors

The Timesheet Line Item Approval feature can be turned on for all projects, or it can be turned on by project charge type (regular, overhead, or promotional).

Timesheet Line Item Approval vs. Timesheet Approval

Timesheet line item approval and timesheet approval are two separate approval options that function independently of each other.

• Use timesheet line item approval to require principals, project managers, or supervisors to approve individual timesheet line entries before timesheets can be posted.

• Use timesheet approval to require a Group, Company, or System administrator to approve timesheetsfor each employee at your firm before timesheets can be posted.

Your system administrator can require any one of the following:

• Timesheet approval only

• Line item approval only

• Both timesheet and line item approval

• No approval
