#COE#Deloitte - Assistance in Troubleshooting error message: There are still working times not yet submitted or waiting approval

[Theresa]

A User is trying to close a project and receives the error message "There are still working times not yet submitted or waiting approval"

The workflow for the approval of overtime has been checked and there is nothing outstanding in any of the project managers workflow waiting for approval. (Normal Time is automatically approved).

Do I understand correctly that the "still working times not yet submitted" would mean that each individual on the customer project would need to check there individual time sheets if they have allocated overtime hours on the time sheet but not yet submitted the time?

If this is the case, we currently have about 60 employees on the project allocated on different Work package levels, is there a way were we can get this information without having to ask 60 employees to check there time sheets over a 10 month project?

Thanks

Theresa

Hi tpurchase123 ,

Thank you for reaching out.

From what you are describing there seem to be timesheets that were saved but not submitted, leading to an error message when trying to close the project. Regardless if the saved times are are 'auto-approved' or routed for approval by a manger, the times remain open in terms of processing status until they are posted against the project.

One way of reporting on all the time-entries that have been saved but not submitted is to utilize the field "TimeSheetStatus" found in the CDS view I_Timesheet record. Alternatively, you could also explore the change logs of CATS data as a key user. The change documents for timesheet data is currently enabled for few timesheet fields like Activity type, Billing Control, Recorded hours, Changed hours, and Status of Timesheet entry categories only.
