Edit Time Valuation Result

[Laura_Azevedo]

Hello @Volker_Ruof , 

As a Time Sheet approver, is it possible to edit Time Valuation Results?

We have a specific requirement from a client that wants to approve some of the overtime recorded but not necessarily all of it. The problem is that the overtime is integrated and not manually created.

The time valuation results are correctly generated but it is up to the approver to accept or not accept those time valuation results - so they analyze eache particular case.

Is it possible to create a specific workflow for these time valuations? Or even allow the manager to delete some of these in the workflow page?

Thank you

Hi Laura,

As far as I know, this is not possible. Even if it is, I would highly recommend a closer look at this process. What you are describing here would likely not be legal, at least here in the US. In the old SAP CATS, where only recorded time was approved, many customers asked that the evaluated time be included in the approval. However, the manager really should just be approving that the time entered is correct. If they are making a decision that one person gets overtime, but another does not for the same time entry, then that is unfair to the employees. 

Also, how would you reconcile this? Two employees with the same time entry could have different results. If you are trying to troubleshoot this and explain to the employee, then you have this extra random decision being made.

So, if there is some difference between the overtime that they want to approve and the overtime that they don't want to approve, then the best practice would be to record something different at the source (the time sheet).

Hi, thanks for the reply. If overtime hours were recorded manually, it would be easy to approve or reject these requests individually. In this specific case, there is no manual process, it is all integrated. So assuming an employee works 3 hours of overtime that were not pre-approved, how do we safeguard the approver's decision? or even, if a manager knows that the employee was not actually working despite having done the clocking, how does he decide that he wants to pay X hours of those recorded overtime hours? In this case, it is incorrect to delete the records but there should be a mechanism that overrides this..
