!!!Authorize Time Cards

The Authorize Time Cards (WVPATC) form allows for time sheets to be sent through without approval so that base (e.g. REG, VAC, SICK, etc.) can always be paid but still have the ability to select certain time codes for ‘authorization'.  Approvals, even it happens after the time sheet, has been moved into payroll and all time is paid.   This function allows a post-payroll approval.

!!Setup Required

!IDWR 
To select the time codes involved, go to the [Time Codes tab|IDWR#section-IDWR-TimeCodesTab] within [Define Work Rules|IDWR] screen, and check the Authorization Required toggle for the time code you wish to select.  This will create an approval record on IDAP for approval that are the type ‘Time Sheet Entries (Authorize)’.

!IDAP 
Create an approval process within the Define Approval Process [IDAP] screen, setting its type to ‘Time Sheet Entries (Authorize)’. For the approval function, select WVPATC; this Manager Self Service screen will hold all transactions from the time sheet and identify items that need to be authorized. These approval records will remain in IDAP and the approving screen (WVPATC) even after the time sheet has been sent to payroll. 

!!Items of note:
#There currently is no way to decline
#It is all or nothing; it is not approved entry by entry
#This results in nothing but a record of what was authorized; payroll would need to make adjustments in IPPH
#Work flow would be required to notify payroll if an entry was declined (decline not yet available) or perhaps we could look at the age of the entry and if it has not been approved then it can use proactive WF to notify payroll
#This works with ‘previous period adjustments’ added to current time sheet
