Time Entry approval process definition

To access the TimeEntryApproval process, select Process Server Administrator > Configuration > Process Definitions > Application Defined Processes.

Time entry approval follows this process:

  • If the pay period’s employee work assignment has a direct manager and there are actors assigned to that manager code, the work unit sends a notification email to the managers and routes the work unit to their in-basket.

  • If the pay period’s employee work assignment has a direct manager, but the manager role is unfilled, the work unit is routed to the manager’s parent manager. Successive managers are examined until a filled manager role is found.

  • Two manager approvals are needed by default, but you can change the number of levels in the process flow start node (variable = ApprovalLevels).

  • If a manager code cannot be found, the work unit is routed to the Time Entry Administrator task as the final approver.
