Timecard Approval

 Standard Operating Procedures

Managing Timecard Approval 

PURPOSE:

The Timecard Approval screen approves or rejects individual Timecard records. An approved Timecard record creates a financial transaction, applying a labor charge to the work order phase. Timecards entered either manually or with Start/Stop will need to be approved. The Supervisor or a role designated to approve will go into the AiM Timecard approval process to complete this function.

 

TIMECARD STATUS FLAGS

Not Posted The parent timecard is still being processed and has not yet been approved. No labor charges have been placed against a phase.
Posted The timecard transaction has been approved and posted. Labor charges are placed against a phase.
Rejected This status indicates that the parent timecard was not allowed (approved) by the timecard approver as a valid timecard transaction. Rejected timecards do not create financial transactions. Rejected timecards can be corrected and then approved.
