Time Entry Approval Request Background Processing
Sparkrock 365 provides the capability for you to perform time entry approval request background processing. This functionality allows you to process time entry approvals when system resources are optimal. You can manually run the background processing or schedule the background processing to run via the job queue. For more information about the job queue, see Set Up Time Entry.
Sparkrock 365 includes the following time entry approval background processing functionality:
On the Time Sheet Entry page, on the Time Lines, there is a Submitted For Approval status. The Submitted For Approval status indicates that the line has passed the appropriate validations and is ready to move to the next step in the approval workflow. If required, you can cancel an approval request. When you cancel an approval request that has the Status of Submitted For Approval, the Status of the time entry line changes to Open.
On the Human Resources Manager Role Center, under Periodic Activities, there is a Send Approval Requests action.
The Send Approval Requests action is also available from Tell Me. When you choose the Send Approval Requests action, Sparkrock 365 performs the following tasks:
- Processes all time sheet entry lines that have a Status of Submitted For Approval.
- Creates time entry approval entries.
- Creates approval requests.
- Updates the Status of Time Sheet Entry page lines to Pending Approval. If required, you can cancel an approval request. When you cancel an approval request that has the Status of Pending Approval, the Status of the time entry line changes to Open.
On the HR Approval Setup page, there is an Approval Background Processing field.
The Approval Background Processing field specifies whether approval background processing is to be performed.
When the Approval Background Processing checkbox is selected for the Document Type of Time Entry, a Send Approval Requests job queue entry is created.
The assisted setup functionality supports time entry approval request background processing.
