Mobile time recording and manager approval notifications in SAP Business ByDesign Cloud ERP

[JanMatthes]

With SAP Business ByDesign 21.05 the ByD Mobile app will support time recording and also introduce push notifications for manager approval requests:

1. The manager approvals tile now shows the number of open approvals and the lock screen and notifies the user if new items come in


2. Mobile time recording is no built-in and offers the same capabilities as the stand-alone app.


3. Mobile time recordings can also be based on service order items. Like in the desktop, service confirmation based time recordings are now visible and adjustable in the mobile app.


4. Time recording with pre-delivered extension fields as well as country/region and state. You can show them using the personalization mode.

This capability has been requested by three customer influences with more than 35 votes:
