Require Revision Explanations for Timesheets

You can require that employees enter an explanation for revisions that they make to timesheets.

If you have multiple companies, you must complete these steps for each company.

To require comments for revisions made to timesheets:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Time > Timesheet Audit.
  2. On the Timesheet Audit form, set the Enable Revision Audit option to Yes.
  3. In the Revision Audit Frequency field, select when to start the auditing (when employees start or submit a timesheet).
  4. In the Require Revision Explanation field, select when the explanation entry is required (after submitting a timesheet or when revisions are made to timesheet entries that were made for previous days).
  5. Optional: Click + Add Explanation below the Global Revision Explanation grid to add a row to the grid and add a standardized revision explanation that employees can select when they make revisions to timesheets.
  6. Click Save.
Employees must now enter a revision explanation on the Revision Explanation dialog box when they revise and then save or submit a timesheet.

After you enable revision auditing, if there are some employees for whom you do not want to require revision explanations, you can turn off revision auditing on an employee-by-employee basis on the Time & Expense tab in the Employees hub.
