• SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking

• Navigate to Employee's Time sheet UI.
• Add an entry for a day and click on 'Save':

• Navigate to Manage Data > Open the Employee Time Sheet generated above.

• Click on details of the Time Sheet and open the Employee Time:

•    Click to view the Employee Time:

• The Employee Time status is set as approved:

This is expected behavior. 

For time recording entries saved in Time Sheet, then the related Employee Time gets approved without approved status. And the approval status of Employee Time gets updated as Cancelled once the time sheet is also cancelled. 
Time Sheet does not really utilize the approval status in Employee Time object.

If Single Record Approval is used, then the Approval Status in Employee Time Sheet object and Attendance Request object will be utlized and synced with the workflow for single record Approval. 
While without Single Record Approval, the Approval Status in Employee Time Sheet object will be Not Required.
