Timesheet Approver Setting / Changing Classifications?

[billnorr]

Is it possible for a PWA 2007 Timesheet Approver set or change the
Classifications within a submitted Timesheet at approval tme?

Here's the scenario: I'd like to use PWA Timesheets to capture all of
the Team Members' time spent on projects, activities, and non-working
time, and I'd like to capture whether those hours can be capitalized
or expensed. However, I don't want the Team Members to specify
"Capitalized" or "Expensed" on their PWA Timesheets, since they will
probably not know this information. I'd rather have the Timesheet
Approver (or someone else with the appropriate permissions) select /
specify this parameter.

It seems like Timesheet Classifications might be a good way to attach
this information to a Timesheet line, but I haven't seen a way for the
Approver to set or change the Timesheet Classification value at
approval time.

Thanks!

Bill:

The EPM solution supports the capture of this data by attributing it to
tasks if it can be tied to tasks in the schedule, or you can do this by
resource. It sounds like the first option might work you. The system doesn't
support injecting it in the approval process out of the box. In most cases
you can make these determinations in advance so you don't have build a
custom coded solution.
