Changing the Trigger for the Submit To Field for Time Sheets

By default, Siebel Professional Services Automation uses the Pending Next Approver time sheet Status value as a trigger to change the value in the Submit To field from the current approver's user ID to the user ID of the next approver. If you prefer not to use the value Pending Next Approver as the trigger to change the Submit To value, you must complete several tasks. The following procedure briefly explains how to change the trigger for the Submit To field.

NOTE:  A similar procedure applies if you want to change the trigger for the Submit To field for expense report approvals. Because you must use Siebel Tools and recompile your .srf file for either procedure, you may want to combine the time sheet and expense report procedures, so you can recompile only once. For information about the expense report procedure, see Changing the Submit To Field Trigger for Expense Reports.
