You have the option to prevent approvers from approving and rejecting archived time cards.
By default, e-timecard allows approval and rejection of archived time cards, meaning those time cards that have been exported and moved from the current detail table to the archive table.
To disallow approval and rejection of archived time cards, go to the Parameter Setup screen, Approvals tab and turn off the Approvers can approve and reject archived time cards check box.
When you make this setting, the following happens on e-timecard approval screens.
The Archived check box is hidden in the Status(es) area on the Approval View screen.
An approver can still access an archived time card from the View Archived tab or from the View Archived option in the menu bar, but the Approve and Reject buttons are hidden to prevent him/her from approving or rejecting.
