Work summary authorization

Timesheets are authorized at the work summary (daily) level. Each day in the system is always either in a state of authorized or unauthorized. In the database, the authorization state is maintained using the WRKS_AUTHORIZED column in the WORK_SUMMARY table.

By default, all records in the system are authorized. The system automatically unauthorizes records using pay rules (Unauthorize Rule) and the registry (UNAUTHORIZE_WRKS_IN_ERROR). Use the Unauthorize Rule to unauthorize timesheets when certain conditions are met, such as late arrivals, overtime, and absences. You can also configure the rule to unauthorize all records and require managers to authorize all timesheets for employees under their supervision.

Users with sufficient permissions can authorize or unauthorize a work summary record through a work summary override. A user can switch the authorization state of the work summary to indicate whether the day is authorized or unauthorized.
