How to delete approved timesheet

Posted on by Community Member

I am using AX2012 R2 CU7

I have some timesheets that can't be posted due to dimension error, yet it can't be re-submitted or deleted from the front end. It's just staying there on the system. I am using auto approval for testing purposes. Is there anyway I can delete the timesheet from the front end or anybody can share with me the code and how to delete the timesheet from backend, help is appreciated.

There is similar post on this, but no solution so far. Thanks.

Hi!

Verify this query: DELETE TSTIMESHEETTABLE WHERE TIMESHEETNBR = 'timesheet number' AND DATAAREAID = 'company id code'

To be able to delete timesheets, the status needs to be reset first. You have to do this for the TSTimesheetTable record as well as the related TSTimesheetLine records. Then you can delete the timesheets. Do this from within AX (not SQL directly) as there are some cascading delete actions which will also delete related records in other tables.

Thanks Pablo and André

How do I reset the status within AX? The time sheet is already stuck on the status "approved", it can't be rejected, can't be posted (certain lines doesn't have dimension), can't be deleted as well. Thanks.

Hi!

Can you add the financial dimensions? Open the timesheet and go to details, add the missing financial dimensions and try to submit it again. Please keep us posted.

Thanks,

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

Any "approved" timesheet can only be viewed, even the approver cant reject it again it can't be edited anymore, that's why I have to resort to deleting it.

I have 2 things in mind:

- key in the line financial dimensions from sql, but I don't know where it is stored and how to insert data to it. Thanks.

- Reset the status from sql for the timesheet to "draft" for header and its line, but I don't know how many cascading table involved and how to to do so, thanks.

Hi Jack,

From within the development workspace (AOT) you can browse for the tables mentioned above. Open the table browser, find the record(s) and you can change the status back to new or draft. Don't set the status to 'all'. Then you are able to make changes in the details like the dimensions or delete them.

Be careful with this kind of editing data... it's too easy to change the wrong records or fields.

Hi André,

Thanks for the advice

but can't just open TStimesheet Table and edit the record

end up using X++ code to modify the record

created another thread and coding issue has been resolved as well
