Rework time sheets
You can rework time sheet lines that are rejected by an approver, or add new lines to a time sheet whose status is Submitted.
Reworkable time sheets
You can rework your time sheets in the following cases:
- When some lines in a submitted time sheet are rejected by an approver, the time sheet is in the In Rework status, indicating that you need to take action before the entire time sheet can be approved. For details, see Rework lines in a submitted time sheet.
-
When a submitted time sheet has lines that are neither approved nor rejected, the status of the time sheet lines remain Submitted, you can rework these time sheet lines, or add new lines to the time sheet. For details, see Rework lines in a submitted time sheet and Add lines to a submitted time sheet.
After you rework the time sheet lines or add new lines, you need to resubmit the time sheet.
