Responsible for

The Responsible for form is displayed only if you have the appropriate rights. The form lists any unauthorized hour lines that you, as the person responsible, need to approve. These lines will be displayed if:

• You are the person responsible for one or more production orders
• The settings specify that the person responsible must authorize the time registration for the production order in question
• The employee performing the work has authorized the week report containing the relevant hours. See Notes for an exception to this rule.

The hour lines on the form are sorted by date and employee.

Note: Authorizing the hours does not necessary mean that they are released for hours processing. Also the employee's manager authorizes hours; he or she does so on the Week reports form. Whether both authorizations are required for processing depends on a setting in Isah Configuration (see below).

Remarks

• If you are using the functionality for partial authorization of weeks until the end of the month, then the hours you are responsible for will appear as soon as authorization until the end of the month has been given. In that case, you do not have to wait until the employee has approved the entire week.
• If you have authorized the hours, but the operational employee's manager has not, then the hours can still be changed (for example, by the manager). Following a change to the hours you have approved, your authorization will disappear and the hours will be resubmitted for your approval. If the manager cancels the employee's week report authorization without changing the hours, your authorization will remain in effect.
• If you are also responsible for the hours you have worked as an operational employee, all you need to do is authorize your week report. The hours under Responsible for will automatically be approved as well. If you cancel the week report authorization, then also the authorization under Responsible for will be canceled, unless these hours had already been processed at that time.
• If someone else is responsible for the hours you have worked as an operational employee, and you do not have a manager, the authorization behavior may not be as expected. This behavior is deliberate, in order to prevent situations in which a week report can never be authorized.

  Explanation of exceptional situation

  If you do not have a manager and authorize your week report yourself, Isah TR will immediately advance your authorization to 'Authorized by manager'.

  Isah Configuration provides an option, however, that allows you to ensure that a person responsible must authorize the hours before the manager is allowed to approve the week report. The person responsible does not, however, see the hours he or she has to authorize until the employee has authorized his or her own week report. In this case, the employee cannot authorize his or her own week report, because the employee is also the manager.

  This paradoxical situation has been resolved in this instance by showing the hours to the person responsible as soon as the employee (who is also a manager) has filled in the hours in the week report. Authorization of the week report by the employee is, in this case, not necessary in order to display the hours to the person responsible. The employee can see from the week report that it cannot be authorized yet, because a person responsible is listed.

• In Isah, the Week reports form lists the week reports of all of your employees. The reports can be filtered by overdue weeks across all employees. The persons responsible and the status of the authorizations by persons responsible are displayed on this form, as well as on the underlying Hour lines form.

Settings

• To see more information about the scheduling of employees, select the Show planned capacity check box in Isah Configuration. The Responsible for form shows whether the employee was scheduled for the job, and (if entered) information about the planned job duration.
• You can configure Isah Configuration to allow hours to be authorized by the manager only after the person responsible has approved them. If you do not configure this, the person responsible and the manager can authorize the hours independently and the authorization order does not matter.
• The time at which hours are released for processing also depends on a setting in Isah Configuration. You can choose to release hours as soon as the person responsible has authorized them. Otherwise, both the person responsible and the manager must authorize the hours before they can be processed in Isah.
