Submit Time Cards for Scheduled Processing Option

By default, when people click Submit on time cards, the applicable time consumer validation and time entry and calculation rules run immediately.

If your company has complex calculation rules or people with monthly time cards, we encourage you to submit time cards for scheduled processing. This way, the time consumer validation, time entry, and time calculation rules for the linked individuals run in the background. These individuals and their managers can review any issues and calculated time data results later, after the process completes.

You set this option on time processing profiles.

• When you select this option and linked individuals click Submit on their time cards, their Existing Time Cards page opens. The page has a submission pending message over the submitted time card. When managers click Submit on a time card, their Team Time Cards page opens with the same message. After time entry and calculation processing completes, other messages replace the submission pending message. The messages could be about exceptions that need fixing. Or, if there aren't any exceptions, the new message indicates that approval is pending for the time card.
• When you don't select this option, the linked time entry and calculation rules run immediately. Messages about any exceptions appear on the time card, which is still open. If the rules don't generate any exceptions, the Existing Time Cards or Team Time Cards page opens. The time card shows with the message that approval is pending.
