Time Sheet Approval Steps and Statuses

As Cora supports three different roles, there are three possible time sheet approval processes. These can be summarized as shown in the image above.

Approval Steps

When a team member submits a time sheet:

1. Project Manager Approval

   • Optionally (this feature can be switched off globally), a Project Manager approves or rejects the submitted time sheet.

2. Delegate Approval

   • Optionally (this feature can be switched off and is switched off by default for each project), a delegate of the Project Manager can approve or reject the time sheet.

3. Resource Manager Approval

   • Optionally (this feature can be switched off globally), a Resource Manager for the specific resource can approve or reject the submitted time sheet.

At any stage, if a time sheet is rejected, it is returned to the submitter for revision and resubmission.

Time Sheet Statuses

A time sheet moves through different statuses during its lifecycle:

• MISSING – A time sheet has not yet been submitted for the reporting period.

• SAVED – A time sheet has been started but not yet submitted.

• WAITING – A submitted time sheet is pending approval from the Project Manager, Delegate, or Resource Manager.

• REJECTED – A time sheet has been rejected at any approval point and is available for resubmission.

• APPROVED – A time sheet has been approved by all required approvers.
