Aprovar tempo e despesas

This article describes the process by which Admins and Managers review and approve tracked time entries and expenses submitted by team members. With this process, time and budget spent on a project can be precisely estimated and allocated.

Approving tracked time is available on Standard and higher subscription plans and can be performed by workspace Admins and Team managers.
Approving tracked expenses is available on PRO and higher subscription plans and can be performed by workspace Admins and Team managers. 

Imagine you are a project manager overseeing a team of developers working on a project for a client. Team members submit tracked expenses during project-related activities, such as software licenses or travel expenses. As the project manager, you review these submissions to make sure they align with project budgets and client agreements. Once approved, these entries are integrated into project reports and invoices, providing clients with the billing information. 

Admin or Team manager can approve, reject and edit the submitted time and expenses from the Aprovações .

Each time approval request contains the following information: 

• Author of the submitted request 
• Time of the submitted request 
• Status:
  • Não enviado

Whenever there’s a timesheet that’s waiting for approval, you’ll see an orange dot as an indicator in the sidebar.

Rejecting a submitted request needs to be done on the Aprovações .

If a member submitted a timesheet with entries that are wrongly submitted, you can: 

• Reject the entire timesheet then edit and resubmit the entry
• Acesse a Relatório detalhado and manually correct the mistake (only as Owner/Admin, or their Team manager)

Once you approve time, time entries are permanently locked. Even Admins can’t make any edits.

If you invoice time after approval and want to mark what’s been invoiced, you can import approved time entries into an fatura and approved time entries will automatically get an invoiced tag so you can see what’s been invoiced and filter reports by status.

Se você digitar 1, será 1min. Mas se você mudar para o formato decimal, 1 se tornará 1h.

Notifications: #

• User’s Team manager is notified if Timesheet is submitted 
• User who submitted the timesheet is notified if Timesheet is approved 
• User receives an email and note if Timesheet is rejected
• User and all the Admins receive an email if Approval is withdrawn 

If you’re Admin and want to receive an email notification when a user submits their timesheet, you need to have a Gerente de equipe role for users you manage. This means that, for certain users, you’ll be both an Admin and a Team manager.

You can send email reminders to both users to submit their unsubmitted timesheets, and managers to approve their team members’ timesheets.
