Project Costing Time Approval Workflow Tasks
Time consumer sets with Project Costing selected start these approval tasks. The ELA task starts when the project costing consumer configuration uses entry-level approval.
The approval flow builds the list of project approvers using the project managers defined in Project Portfolio Management. Here's what these approval tasks do.
| ProjectTimeCardApproval | ProjectTimecardApprovalELA |
|---|---|
| Supports header-level and line-level approval configurations that use project data from the time card, for the specified individual and time card period. | Supports line-level approval configurations that use project data on the time card, for the specified individual and time card period. |
| Notifies the configured approvers to approve or reject the time entries that they're responsible for. The approvers see all project time data from the time card, even the data that they don't approve. | Notifies the configured approvers to approve or reject only the time entries that they're responsible for. Approvers see only the project time data that they approve. Project data for the time entry is ready to transfer as soon as the approver approves the entry. |
| Notifies specified recipients based on time card status, for example, notifies individuals when approvers approve or reject their time cards. | Notifies specified recipients based on time entry status, for example, lets individuals whether approvers approved or rejected their time entries. |
By default, the ProjectTimeCardApproval task evaluates project time entries only when the entire time card is ready for approval.
