Results
Condition Set 1:
An employee records spending time in training on Friday and Saturday.
The Is Weekday parameter evaluates to true for Monday through Friday, so the second set of rule parameters runs. On Friday, the rule finds the TRN time code and unauthorizes the timesheet. The reason code for the Unauthorize Based On Time Code Settings is displayed in the Issues pop-up on Friday.
Condition Set 2:
An employee records work on Saturday and allocates the time to the MAINTENANCE department.
The Is Weekend Day parameter evaluates to true for Saturday, so the third set of rule parameters runs. The rule finds the time allocated to the MAINTENANCE department and unauthorizes the timesheet. The reason code for the Unauthorize Based On Department Settings parameter is displayed in the Issues pop-up on Saturday.
