Cause

Expected behavior

Resolution

  1. The approval status is set to "not required" currently as seen in Time Sheet Entry,as this refers to single day approval, and this feature is applicable only when Time Tracking functionality is enabled.
  2. You can have this approval status visibility set to "Not Visible" so that this does not confuse the users from the configure object definition ->Employee Time Sheet Entry
  3. The approval status as seen in the Employee Time sheet REFLECTS the appropriate approval status of the Time Sheet for the user as seen in Manage Data --> Employee Time Sheet
