Requiring manager approval for resource report items

The creation of resource reports by resources can be limited based on an approval step performed by a manager.

From Finance > Billing > Resource report generator, it’s possible to add an additional column, Approve for billing.

Only items that have been approved for billing can be used to generate a resource report.

...

Basic resources will only be able to mark for billing items that have been approved by a manager, as indicated by the icon:

...

This functionality can be enabled from Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings.

...

Naming conventions

The names of the steps can be customized from Administrator > Web administrator > Name conventions.

...

This step can be approved at any moment, and is unaffected by the current approval step.
