Project time approvers can verify and approve project hourstime - the hours worked by team members on the project - directly in Financial Manager or through Timesheet’s My Work section. Project time approval doesn’t impact time tracking or billing in other apps, such as Timesheets.

This allows project owners time approvers and team leaders to ensure that only time spent on the their project is counted.

For more information about approving hours in Financial Manager, see Understanding the Project Time Approval Workflow.

  1. Enable Project Time Approval in Tempo Settings for the organization.

Project Time Approvers

By default, a project owner is a project time approver. Any additional team members added to your project must have the Viewer permission or higher to approve time.

When a team member submits their project time for approval, the default approver is selected automatically, but the team member can submit their project time to any approver for the project.

Before You Begin
