Click on the edit actions to open the timesheet, finalise any changes, and be ready to submit.

Submit: If the timesheet is OK to be submitted, click the SUBMIT button at the top of the screen.


Once a Manual Timesheet has been submitted by an Organisation User, it will automatically be classified as an Approved Timesheet.

Expense Flow:

The user can draft the timesheet (or) submit the timesheet along with the expense on manual timesheet screen. When creating manual timesheet, user will be seeing the new option called "Expense" in the top along with Draft and Submit.

Draft with expenses:

If the user wants to draft the timesheet by adding the expenses, they can use this option.

On clicking "Draft with Expense", the slider will be opened for the user to select the expense type, expense amount, upload attachments if necessary, select VAT if applicable, and then Draft/Submit.

If the user clicks "Draft", they have to go into the Expenses screen to submit them manually. If the user clicks "Submit", the expenses will be "Approved". But the timesheet will still be in "Draft" status. In order to run this expense through Batching process, user has to submit the timesheet, then the approved expenses for that timesheet will also be available in the batching process.

Submit with expenses:

If the user wants to submit the timesheet by adding the expenses, they can use this option.

On clicking "Submit with Expense", the slider will be opened for the user as same as the other option to select the expense type, expense amount, upload attachments if necessary, select VAT if applicable, and then Draft/Submit.

If the user clicks "Draft", they have to go into the Expenses screen to submit them manually. If the user clicks "Submit", the expenses will be "Approved". In this option, both expenses and timesheets have been approved, and so this will be available for the batching process right away.
