Validation and Processing Rules by Time Card Action

Time consumers, such as absence management, payroll, and project costing, deliver validation rules that apply to time card data. For example, absence validations make sure that absence entries are for only those absence types that the person is eligible for.

Here's the validation and processing associated with the main time card buttons.

Button	Validation and Processing Description
Next	Validates absence, payroll, and project time entries Applies time entry rules, as specified by rule configuration Applies time calculation rules, including any allocation rules, as specified by rule configuration Generates calculated time entries
Save Save and Close	Always starts the delivered absence validations By default, doesn't start the delivered project and payroll validations You configure validation on the save buttons using the Time Consumer Sets task. In the Validate on Time Card Actions field, select Submit and save. Validations on the save buttons are then identical to those described for the Next button. For Project Costing, we recommend that you select Submit and save. That way people working on time cards know immediately if they're saving time entries to closed projects.
Submit	Sets the time card status to Submitted and starts the approval workflow
