If your organization requires resource timesheets to be approved by resource/cost managers and/or project managers, timesheets can be reviewed from the Timesheet Approval page in P6. When properly configured, any user with the appropriate module access and security privilege can access Timesheet Approval.
Note: In P6 EPPM R8.0 or later, Timesheet Approval is only available from P6.
Before configuring access to Timesheet Approval, be sure to complete the following:
- Configure user module access.
To access Timesheet Approval, users must be assigned at least one of the following module access rights: Portfolios, Projects, or Resources.
- Assign global and/or project profiles to timesheet approval managers, as described in Assigning Global Security Profiles and Assigning OBS Elements to Users in P6 EPPM Application Administration Guide, that include the required security privilege to enable approval managers to access Timesheet Approval to review timesheets.
To enable a user to approve resource timesheets as a resource/cost manager, the user must be assigned the Approve Resource Timesheets global privilege. To enable a user to approve resource timesheets as a project manager, the user must have the Approve Timesheets as Project Manager project privilege.
- Specify the required timesheet approval levels, as described in Timesheets Page.
Tips
- A setting in Primavera P6 Administrator enables daily emails to be sent to timesheet reviewers listing all the updates pending their review. There is also a setting to allow all users to receive a daily email listing all their timesheets which have been approved or rejected in the past 24 hours.
