Example
Pending
If an inbound time effort idoc runs into errors, message 002 of class LR will be searched for. Such a time effort will be resent to FSM as pending, with the mentioned message as approval remark.
Create a time effort. Approve it and block the CATS transaction to make sure the error above will occur.
Notice that a deletion idoc for the initial generic was sent, as well as a new generic with syncStatus and an outbound Approval object.
The time effort is now pending again in the Time&Material journal.

If an inbound time effort idoc runs into errors, message 002 of class LR will be searched for. Such a time effort will be resent to FSM as requiring technician’s change, with the mentioned message as approval remark.
Create a time effort. Approve it and block the CATS transaction to make sure the error above will occur.
Notice that a deletion idoc for the initial generic was sent, as well as a new generic with syncStatus and an outbound Approval object.
The time effort is now requiring change in the Time&Material journal.

Status | Time Effort syncStatus | Approval decisionStatus |
PENDING | REQUIRES_APPROVAL | PENDING |
REQUIRES CHANGE | REQUIRES_CHANGE_FOR_APPROVAL | DECLINED |
