Confirm Project Time

Explanation

Use this activity to confirm project-related time entries. Confirmation finalizes the employee's reported time and makes it ready for further processing

Approval Considerations

The following system properties influence how confirmation interacts with approval for time transactions:

The property code NOAPRCON controls whether confirmation triggers automatic approval:

If NOAPRCON is FALSE or not defined, the time is automatically approved upon confirmation.
If NOAPRCON is TRUE, confirmation only finalizes the time entry; it must then be manually approved.

The property code NOAPRBFCON defines whether manual approval is allowed before confirmation:

If NOAPRBFCON is TRUE, time must be confirmed before it can be manually approved.
If NOAPRBFCON is FALSE, time can be approved regardless of confirmation status.

The system enforces consistency between these properties. If NOAPRCON is FALSE or not set, NOAPRBFCON cannot be TRUE. This ensures that automatic approval does not conflict with manual approval restrictions.

Multi Company Reporting

In multi-company reporting scenarios, confirming a transaction also updates the Day Confirmed indicator to Yes on the linked transaction in the other company.

Contractor Reporting

For project transactions reported by contractors, confirmation never results in automatic approval. The contractor's time must always be approved manually, regardless of the NOAPRCON setting.

Prerequisites

Before confirming project time, the following must have been completed:

Time registration must be completed.
Property codes that determine the behavior of confirmation and approval (NOAPRCON and NOAPRBFCON) of time transactions, should be defined as needed on the Company Details/Property tab.

System Effects

The time entry is marked as confirmed.
If NOAPRCON is FALSE or null, the time is automatically approved.
In multi-company reporting, the Day Confirmed indicator is set to Yes on the linked transaction in the other company.
