How to unapprove a time entry#
For: Manager You’ll need: A time entry with status ‚Approved‘ in an open company period.
You’ll roll a single row back from ‚Approved‘ to ‚Submitted‘ when an approval was premature or wrong. Shiftavo clears the audit stamp and records the reason you give.
Unapprove the row#
In the left sidebar, go to Planning → Management → Timesheet.
Find the approved row.
Click ‚Unapprove‘ on the row.
In the ‚Reason‘ field, enter why you’re reversing the approval.
Click ‚Confirm‘.
What unapprove does#
The status flips back to ‚Submitted‘.
The approver and approval timestamp are cleared.
Your reason is logged on the row’s history.
Verify it worked#
The row’s status badge reads ‚Submitted‘ again. Opening the row’s history shows the unapproval entry with your reason.
Locked periods#
If the company period is closed, the row shows a „locked“ banner and Shiftavo refuses to unapprove. See What a locked period looks like on the timesheet.
