LESSON 18: ADJUSTING TIMESHEETS AS AN
ADMINISTRATOR

Learning Objectives

Modify a Locked or Extracted timesheet as an Administrator
• Configure the system to enable timesheet adjustments
• Explain the capabilities and limitations of Administrator timesheet adjustments
• Identify options for reviewing pending and completed adjustments

Introduction
Once a timesheet has been locked and/or extracted, it is still possible to make
corrections to the data entered. The Administrator Timesheet Adjustment function
allows the Administrator to add or remove hours, modify the selected projects and
tasks, and change bill rates and/or cost rates.

Adjustments performed by the Administrator do not flow through the
established approval process. Adjusted timesheets will remain in LOCKED or
EXTRACTED status with the changes visible in the Adjustment History
section. Historical timesheets cannot be adjusted.

Another available option for modifying Locked or Extracted timesheets is to enable the
Allow Admins to Edit Timesheets property. When this feature is turned on,
Administrators will have the ability to modify the fields visible in the Timesheet view
including Project, Task, Location, and Pay Code and edit the time entries and
comments. The Administrator will then be able to submit the edited timesheet on behalf
of the end user. A timesheet modified using the Administrator edit option will be
processed through the established approval workflow.

While Unanet does not recommend allowing Administrators to edit timesheets
due to DCAA guidelines, enabling the property to “Require Approvals:
Timesheet” can be turned on to support compliance by ensuring edited
timesheets submitted by Administrators will flow through the established
approval workflow and will be reviewed by all assigned approvers.

Regardless of properties settings, an Administrator can adjust timesheets that are in
LOCKED or EXTRACTED status. All timesheet cells are available in this type of
