Worklog approval

[Kristina Voit]

Hi all, 

I am in the process of integrating JIRA with other systems we have in a company. 
One of the challanges is to integrate it with our ERP system - Dynamics SL that manages the project cost. Right now all worklog is being done in that system which is not that convinient neither for PM, nor for developers. 

I imagine to have the following work flow in JIRA:

1. The employes once they have the ticket done, log  their time in it and move it further according to workflow 

2. The PM revise the ticket and approve it or decline. Once it was approved, the time spent cannot be changed in the ticket

3. Once the time is approved, the data flows to our ERP

Here is my question:  as far as I know there is no such a functionality in JIRA as approving hours. Is it possible to add this customization and would it be a lot of work? 

P.S. I am using JIRA on-premis

Hi Kristina,

A partial solution can be Timescale with the addon users can submit their timesheets to predefined approvers. Then you can export it to Excel or CSV and perhaps create some kind an import mechanism in Dynamics.

Hope it helps

Hi @Kristina Voit,

Looking into functionality for worklogs to be approved, and once approved the worklog is "frozen", my suggestion would be to look into Tempo Timesheets or Worklog Pro.

My suggestion may not be that helpful for your use case as your requirements state you want to customise Jira rather than use an add-on.

Hope this helps

Thank you, Danny, I am familiar with these plug-ins, but as you mentioned, I am looking for a way to customize JIRA
