Configure Payroll Time Approval Rules to Use the Time Entry Source

This example automatically approves time cards where all entries come from a time collection device. And it requires two levels of managers to review and approve any time cards with entries that don't come from time collection devices.

1. Go to Setup and Maintenance > Tasks panel Search > Manage Task Configurations for Human Capital Management.
2. For the TimecardApproval workflow task, TimeEntryApprovalRuleSet, click the Assignees tab.
3. Create the rule to automatically approve time cards with entries from only time collection devices.
   1. Create this IF expression:

      ApprovalTimeRecordGroup.attributeChar18 is "ORA_HWM_TIME_COLLECTION_DEVICE"

   2. Complete the THEN fields, as shown here.

      THEN Field	Value
      List Builder	Supervisory
      Response Type	Required
      Number of levels	1
      Starting Participant	HierarchyBuilder.getManager("supervisory", Task.payload.process.Requester,-1,null,null)
      Top Participant	HierarchyBuilder.getManager("supervisory", Task.payload.process.Requester,-1,null,null)
      Auto Action Enabled	True
      Auto Action	"APPROVE"
      Rule Name	AutoApproveTCD

4. Create the rule to manually approve time cards with entries that don't come from time collection devices.
   1. Create this IF expression:

      ApprovalTimeRecordGroup.attributeChar18 isn't "ORA_HWM_TIME_COLLECTION_DEVICE"

   2. Complete the THEN fields, as shown here

      THEN Field	Value
      List Builder	Supervisory
      Response Type	Required
      Number of levels	2
      Starting Participant	HierarchyBuilder.getManager("supervisory", Task.payload.process.Requester,-1,null,null)
      Top Participant	HierarchyBuilder.getManager("supervisory", Task.payload.process.Requester,-1,null,null)
      Auto Action Enabled	False
      Auto Action	null
      Rule Name	ManApproveNonTCD
