- Record time for a team member that exceeds the planned hours
Cause
In the Project Settings tab, user has defined field Exceeds Planned Work to "No Approval Required".

When user define No Approval Required for Exceeds Planned Work, this serves the purpose of the exceeded time recordings. The time recordings to be released in addition to the time recordings in status "Released" and "In Approval" that refer to the same work package exceed the planned work. When user create time recording for more than planned hours, system may show a warning message, however there is no hard stoppage for time recordings to log exceeded hours.
