If a vacation bidding session is appropriately configured, you can manually approve all of a submission round’s processed bid approvals and rejections using the Approve Round button in the Employee Order section.
Role feature access: Vacation Bidding > Bidding Dashboard > Approve Round
Before You Begin: You can manually approve rounds only in vacation bidding sessions that support manual approval.
The Approve Round button is available when the following conditions are met:
- The selected vacation bidding session is configured for manual approval instead of auto-approval.
- The status of the selected vacation bidding round is Processed.
When your vacation bidding session is configured for manual approval, Dayforce still automatically processes all of the vacation bids in a submission round. Next, the application accepts or rejects the bids based on the session’s daily limits, bidding order, and other configuration settings. However, as a final step after a round is processed, you must manually approve the round that Dayforce processed. Finally, the application triggers bid approval and rejection notifications after you complete the manual approval (and after the Vacation Bidding Session Processing background job runs).
To approve a vacation bidding round in Bidding Dashboard, select the tab for the round that you want to approve and click Approve Round. If successful, Dayforce shows a message indicating that the round was processed:
Dayforce updates the round’s status to Approved in the Details panel and shows the name of the user who manually approved the round:
