If your company has Managers approve timesheets switched on (Settings → Invoices and time), time must be approved before it can be invoiced.
Review a week
- Go to Time → Approvals. You'll also get an email when someone submits.
- Click Review to see the hours per project, and See every entry for the detail.
- Click Approve, or Return for changes and say what to fix.
Returned weeks go back to the person with your note, and they get an email.
What approval does
- The time is locked so it can't change.
- Each entry's billing rate is fixed at today's rate, so a later rate change doesn't alter approved work.
- The billable time appears under Ready to bill when someone creates an invoice for the client.
You see the timesheets of people who report to you (set in Team). Admins can review anyone's.
