The Timesheet represents labor that is tracked by users for the Timesheet Period, such as assignments, new line items, and Administrative Time categories. The Timesheet's primary function is for reporting actual hours worked.
Assignments originate from a project plan, activity plan, or proposal. Line items can be any unplanned task that the user performs and must report to management. Administrative Time is exception time or non-project work that affects utilization. Each item contributes to the overall utilization of the resource. Labor that is tracked for a Timesheet Period is used by organizations to analyze the amount of work and Administrative Time trends, and to determine the team member's paid hours.
Capturing labor involves defining Timesheet Periods, Administrative Time, and Timesheet Settings. The functionality to review and approve Timesheets encompasses the following:
Designating and determining an approval structure for Timesheet Managers.
Configuring approval permissions for the Timesheet Manager.
Approving Administrative Time requests prior to a user's submittal of a Timesheet for review.
Reviewing a Timesheet and making a decision to accept or reject the Timesheet.
The Timesheet is submitted for review after the required Administrative Time items are approved. Timesheets can be automatically approved, or the organization can create a more structured approval process.
