Hello,
I am new to SPM and your assistance would be valuable to implement the following logic.
When a new timecard is inserted, the state should automatically change to "Approved".
To accomplish this logic, the following BR was created:
When creating a new time card, I see that the message "Business Rule to auto-approve time card was triggered." is visible indicating that the BR was triggered. However, the state remains pending.
How can I implement the aforementioned logic? What exists behind the scence that prohibits the transition from Pending to Approved?
Thank you in advance,
Smith.

Select Time Sheet Policies from left navigator and see what policies you have. If you have not configured custom policies then default policy is applied to all users. you can make changes to the fields highlighted in the screenshot below.

What is the business requirement here? If you auto-approved a time card each time it was inserted, nobody would be able to log time since it locks down the time card once it's approved.

I think you can update “project time approver” field on Time sheet policy record to “auto” to approve timesheets automatically. No custom business rule is required.
