Is there any way to turn the time sheet approval function off?
Timesheet approval is useless andย confuses people.
Furthermore peolple asked me today why their timesheets is filled up with old tasks which are already completed. That was the moment I recognized this new "possibility".
Why do you implement such things without notice? This does not add trust to Wrike, but only makes work.
Hey Sven Passinger! Alina from Product team here. Thank you for your the feedback! Could you please elaborate on your team's usage? Do you require a time approvals process in your team? If yes, how do you organize it today? If no, I would appreciate learning about your use case more: based on your comment it seems like your team does utilize timesheets.ย
For the prefill function, we see that many people report lack of ability to fetch items they worked on but already completed this week. But I understand the importance of personal tools customization! You can simply toggle off the setting to adjust the list to the preferred setup in 1 click as prefill logic has always remained automatic.ย

I've had to reach out to my team to let them know that we are not using the approvals feature and to just ignore it. Unfortunately, Wrike assumes that approvers are responsible for specific people and not the tasks in specific projects.
The Wrike database, because it can't cascade data from parent to child tasks, is completely unaware of which of our tasks belong to which project managers, so I'm not expecting time approvals to be useful anytime soon.
In addition to Stephen Barnecutย comment, every time all approvers will get notification every time a user submits a timesheet. We have 40+ approvers, & 100+users, this certainly doesn't work.
ย
Timesheets globally from different softwares are configured in a way that only People Managers can approve for there respective team members & not on role basis, where anyone with approver access can approve anyone's timesheets
Hey Hitesh Karkal!ย

Hi Alina Kucherenko I understand the options for filtering, but expecting multiple Project managers to make these filters & expecting consistencies, (Project manager - user relationship changes from Project to Project), any specific reason why we are not looking for 1to1 approver relationship like market standards
