Give the employee and manager one source record.
Employees know what they worked on, while managers need consistent daily entries and enough context to make a decision. A summary in a conversation does not give the team a shared submission or approval state. ORYH stores the complete timesheet and the decision against it.
This is AI-native ERP in a familiar workflow: a person works with an agent, and the agent uses ORYH's permitted capabilities to read and act on company records.
From a request to a recorded decision.
"Submit last week's time: Monday was eight hours of customer research, Tuesday through Thursday was proposal work, and Friday was the client readout. Show me the full week before you submit it."
Employee speaks to a compatible, connected agent
Agent resolves the authenticated employee and reporting period
Agent checks duplicate periods, invalid dates, and unusual hours
Agent presents the complete week and requests explicit confirmation
ORYH stores the timesheet and moves the record to submitted
A workflow agent reads the company rules and assigns the manager's approval task
The manager approves or returns it from their preferred agent
The employee reviews a complete week.
- Employee and period
- Confirm the authenticated employee and the reporting dates. Resolve any ambiguous reference to last week.
- Daily work facts
- Review dates, hours, work descriptions and the applicable project references. Supply missing hours instead of letting the agent infer them.
- Submission and decision
- Confirm the full timesheet before submitting it. The manager then makes a separate decision on the source record.
The agent prepares and explains the proposal. Confirmation belongs to the employee; approval belongs to a person with the required authority. ORYH's permissions and workflow controls govern which actions the system accepts.
The record survives the conversation.
The employee submits a complete week in one reviewable action, and the manager receives a routed decision with the original work facts intact.
- Business record
- Timesheet header and daily entries for the reporting period
- Decision context
- Employee instructions, submitted work facts and review comments
- Workflow evidence
- Approval facts, open and completed tasks, final status and audit history
To evaluate the result, inspect the saved business record, its state and the associated audit evidence. A persuasive agent response alone does not establish that a submission or approval occurred.
Check the exceptions as carefully as the normal path.
Hours or project details are missing
The agent asks the employee to supply them. A calendar entry or a vague task description should not become confirmed billable time on its own.
The dates, hours or reporting period look wrong
Check invalid dates, unusual hours and a possible duplicate period before submission. Resolve the issue against the source record.
The manager returns the submission
Read the manager's comments, correct the timesheet and review it again before resubmission. Keep the decision linked to the work.
Someone asks an agent to approve without authority
The request must remain within the user's permitted capabilities and workflow configuration. Validate assigned-approver and separation-of-duty rules explicitly.
Evaluate the workflow with your agent.
Use a compatible, company-approved client such as Codex, Claude Code, Hermes or OpenClaw. Connecting a client and validating this scenario are separate steps. See the runtime connection options, including the current connection boundary for Claude Cowork.
- Bring a redacted week of time, the employee and manager roles, and the approval policy.
- Test a complete submission, missing daily hours, a duplicate period and a returned timesheet.
- Review the record from the employee's and manager's accounts. Inspect the decision and audit history, including after switching agents.
Measure review effort, corrections, completion and the quality of the resulting evidence against your current process. Agree on acceptance criteria with the process owner before expanding the enterprise pilot.
