Approve or reject time sheets

You can approve or reject the time sheets that you have the right to do so.

  1. Search for the time sheets you want to approve or reject.

  2. The time submitter and the hours eligible for you to approve or reject are displayed for each time sheet.

    To see the details of a time sheet, tap the down arrow to expand the time sheet.

  3. Select the time sheet you want to approve or reject, and tap Approve or Reject.

  4. Tap OK in the confirmation dialog. When rejecting time sheets, you can also provide notes in the confirmation dialog about why you reject them.

    Approving or rejecting a time sheet does not take effect immediately. It waits for the PPM background service to process. Therefore, if you search for a rejected time sheet, the time sheet you just rejected in PPM for Mobile may not be listed until the time sheet is processed by the service.
