Would you like to restrict users from self-approval of time recordings in the solution? *

The above scoping question holds good for all users except the Project manager of their project.

There is a backend business configuration option that allows project time recording to be sent to the line manager for approval, even when the project manager does time recording for their own project. Currently, we only have the option to send it to the Reporting line unit manager. Please check in Business Configuration - Implementation Projects - Step 4, Questions to see if the option is already available. Click on Human Resources - Time and Labor Management - Approval and search for the question "Would you like to prevent automatic approval of project/task manager’s time recordings on their projects/tasks, and set their RLU manager as approver?" under Group: Self Approval for Time Recordings.

If the scoping question is not available, please forward the incident to us.
