I am creating an approval process on time sheet module. For this there will be 2 roles:
Manager
Employee
Scenario : When the employee submits the time sheet using a Task, the Task should change from
Submit → Submitted
An email should go to his manager.
On the same table the Manager can see, the employee’s time sheet.
He can either : Approve or Reject the time sheet by the employee using Task.
Can you please guide me to the correct path, any idea how this can be implemented?
I do have a rough idea, however its not fullproof.

Hi Rucha,
You can have two or three tasks depending on the desired implementation;
Submit timesheet (available to employee)
Approve timesheet (available to manager)
Disapprove timesheet (available to manager) - optional, otherwise merge 2 and 3 together
With role configuration, you can make sure the tasks are only available to the correct role.
Submit timesheet will start a process flow, or otherwise creates a record for a system flow to pick up and start sending an email to the manager of this employee.

Thanks Mark, I started having 3 process flows with starting point as the task. Each process flow work for various status change along with sending emails to respective recipients.
@Mark Jongeling@Rucha Naik Alternatively, you could use a Context procedure to determine based on the Timesheet status which Task to show. This would also be a bit more robust if a Manager would have to Submit timesheets for himself too, which may or may not have to be approved by her/himself or another Manager.
@Rucha Naik Did Mark and Arie's answers help you solve this? If so can you please select which answer helped you most by selecting the best answer option.
