Use
The approval procedure is an optional time sheet element.
Most time sheet records contain confidential data relating to, for example, an employee’s payment or the progress of a project.
If employees maintain their own working time data in the system, the approval procedure can be used to check this data before it is transferred to the target components. Each time sheet record is approved on an individual basis.
The persons responsible for approving data records, such as supervisors, personnel officers, or project leaders, require special
authorizations.Prerequisites
For each data entry profile, you must determine whether data is to undergo an approval procedure or not. Activate the Approval required field when maintaining your profile if you want to use the approval procedure.
Working time data cannot be approved until it is assigned the
processing status Released for approval.Features
If you use this procedure, you receive a message in your inbox informing you of data due for approval. When you choose a personnel number, the system automatically starts the approval report.

All data records can be changed at any time by the person who entered them, even once they have been approved.
This also applies to data records that have already been transferred to the target component(s). If this is the case, a cancellation record is created from the original document and transferred to the target component(s).
