Example—Rejecting All Submitted Timesheets and Expense Sheets
Scenario: The members of the Engineering Development Group have submitted their Timesheets and Expense sheets. However, as there was a basic fault in recording the entries, it has been decided to reject all the Timesheets and Expense sheets submitted between 20-Aug-07 and 24-Aug-07.
| |
Note: Since task elements and expense entry statuses are user-defined elements, each organization may have its own items. However, whatever you may call the items, the steps to be followed will be the same as described here. |
|
Solution: To reject the Timesheets and Expense sheets submitted between two dates:
- Click on Mass Update… in the View Sheets tab, to open the Mass Update screen.
- In the Elements panel, click on the
 button in the Employee row and select the Engineering Development Group.
-
In the Time/Expense Entries panel, check Modify expense entries as well as Modify time entries.
When you check Modify expense entries or Modify time entries, the rest of the elements in the panel will become visible.
- Using the Date Picker, set the From field to 20-Aug-07.
- Using the Date Picker, set the To field to 24-Aug-07.
-
In the Approval status row, select Submitted from the Include drop-down list.
| |
Note: In this case we have to select from the Include drop-down list because we want to change the status of only those Timesheets and Expense sheets that have been “submitted”. |
|
-
In the same row, select Rejected from the Set as drop-down list.
- Click the OK button to update the entries.
| |
Note: To change identical status values for both Timesheets as well as Expense sheets, you can perform the operation once only (as in the above example). However, if you want to change different status values for Timesheets and different status values for Expense sheets, you will have to perform the operation twice—once for Timesheets and once for Expense sheets. |
