This article explains how to configure the timesheet approvals for OnePlan. This requires the app 'Time Plan' is installed.
Go to the Admin pages, select Time Plan in the navigation. Then, expand the Workflow topic heading.
Select the check box to have timesheet submittals auto-approved. The system will NOT require managers to approve the time. Time will be totalled at the plan and task level as soon as the user submits the timesheet row.
To use approvals, be sure the Auto Approvals check box is unselected.
