Reviewing Online Time and Expense
You can use the Review Online Time and Expense window to review and approve timecards and expense reports online. Online timecards and expense reports are expenditures submitted from Oracle Personal Time and Expense to Oracle Projects. You can view timecards and expense reports with a status of Submitted only.
You can perform the following actions on timecards and expense reports in this window: Approve, Reject, and Forward. You can route expenditures to any other employee who is a supervisor.
The review online time and expense process is as follows:
- Employees enter timecards and expense reports in Oracle Personal Time and Expense, and submit them to Oracle Projects for approval.
- Supervisors review and approve, reject, or forward the expenditures in the Online Time and Expense window.
- If the expenditure is approved, it is ready for cost distribution.
- If the expenditure is forwarded, the person to whom it is forwarded can approve or reject it, or forward it to another person for approval.
- If it is rejected, the employee must correct and resubmit the expenditure for approval.
Oracle Projects updates the expenditure status to Rejected when you reject it, or Approved, when you approve it for costing.
