Approving or rejecting project hours time only validates the time spent on Financial Manager projectTempo projects. It has no impact on Tempo Timesheet's approved or rejected hours. Approving hours for Financial Manager projects doesn’t send notification emails to users or to team leadsEmail notifications are sent to the user when their project time has been approved or rejected.
If users resubmit their hours after their timesheet was rejected outside Financial Manager, all project hours time are reset to Waiting for Approval status in Financial Manager Project Time Approval. Notification emails are resent to project owners.
We recommend that hours are approved in Timesheets before project owners start the project approval process in Financial Manager. This ensures that all new or updated worklogs are locked in by team leads in Timesheets. If worklogs aren’t approved in Timesheets first, changes to worklogs during the Financial Manager project approval process can result in possible 'orphan' worklogs.
