Timesheets Overview

Setting Up Timesheets Video

Timesheets enable users to enter hours worked against projects. Project hours are logged against resource assignments for activities. Users are assigned different security privileges for timesheets based on which actions they can perform on a timesheet.

• Timesheet Users can manage their own timesheets. They can create timesheets, log time against activities on projects, and submit them for approval.
• Timesheet Supervisors can create their own timesheets and enter time. They can also create timesheets for the resources assigned to the projects for which they are the timesheet supervisors. They can enter time on behalf of the resources and submit their timesheets for approval.
• Timesheet Approvers can create their own timesheets and enter time. They can also create timesheets for the resources for which they have been assigned as the timesheet approver. They can enter time, submit, approve, or reject their resources' timesheets.

  Notes:

  • A timesheet supervisor may also be the timesheet approver for a resource. In such cases, the supervisor is provided additional privileges to approve or reject timesheets.
  • Only users with the Oracle Primavera Schedule Cloud Service license or Progress Cloud Service license can access Timesheets, and only users with the Schedule license can be Timesheet approvers.

Timesheets are processed using a submission and approval workflow. First, users, supervisors, or approvers add a timesheet and enter hours. After the timesheet is submitted, all stakeholders receive a notification. Approvers can now access the timesheets created by the users and supervisors. Upon submission, only the supervisors and approvers can make changes to the submitted timesheets. All additional changes made by the supervisors or approvers are auto-submitted. Users whose timesheets are updated receive a notification in their email and Oracle Primavera Cloud Inbox. Next, the approvers can approve or reject the timesheets. If the timesheet is approved, the approved hours are added to the timesheet actual hours for the assignments for which the timesheet was created. If the timesheet is rejected, the workflow is triggered again.
