Create Timesheets upon Time Off Validation¶

Odoo automatically timesheets on project/tasks upon time off requests. This allows for better overall control over the validation of timesheets, as it does not leave place for forgetfulness and questions after hours that have not been timesheeted by the employee.

Activate the developer mode, go to Timesheets, and change the Project and Task set by default, if you like.

menu: Timesheets ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings
shows: The Time Off block of the Timesheets settings with the "Generate timesheets for validated time off requests and public holidays" option enabled, and the internal project and task it uses.
highlight: The Time Off setting (red frame).
data: Internal project "Internal", task "Time Off".
module: project_timesheet_holidays
notes: English UI, light theme, developer mode on, 1440px width, crop to the setting block.

Go to Time Off ‣ Configuration ‣ Time Off Types. Select or create the needed type, and decide if you would like the requests to be validated or not.

Now, once the employee has requested his time off and the request has been validated (or not, depending on the setting chosen), the time is automatically allocated on Timesheets, under the respective project and task.

On the example below, the user requested Paid Time off from July 13th to 15th.

screenshot: services-timesheets-time-off-request

menu: Time Off ‣ My Time ‣ Time Off ‣ New
shows: A validated time off request for three consecutive days of paid time off.
highlight: None.
data: Employee "Marc Demo", Paid Time Off from 13 to 15 July.
module: hr_holidays
notes: English UI, light theme, 1440px width, crop to the request form.

Considering that validation is not required, the requested time off is automatically displayed in Timesheets. If validation is necessary, the time is automatically allocated after the responsible person for validating does it so.

menu: Timesheets ‣ Timesheets ‣ My Timesheets
shows: The timesheet grid of the employee, with the three days of the validated time off automatically filled in on the internal time off task.
highlight: The three generated cells (red frame).
data: Employee "Marc Demo", week of 13 July, 8 hours per day on "Internal / Time Off".
module: project_timesheet_holidays
notes: English UI, light theme, 1440px width, crop to the grid.
