Reopen locked month

[Slomo17]

Hello, i wanted to ask, if it is possible to reopen a locked month to correct errors or if closed to early? (with the Working hours plugin)

[kevinpapst]

No, that is not possible currently

Ok thanks, would love to see this function in future updates, so errors can be corrected.

Unfortunately, unlocking locked months is not on the roadmap or list of ideas yet.
Any chance it will be added to the roadmap, @kevinpapst?

You can create a feature request and let people vote for it.
But I can already tell you, that you need many votes for that feature, because I am strictly against it.
There are a lot of reasons against that feature, both from a legal and technical perspective.
You can't simply change an already confirmed monthly timesheet.

The problem i have with this is, that the pdf can only be generated after the month is locked. I want to create a pdf send it to the employees let them check it again and if there is no remark or complaint from the employe i can close the month. I do it this way because most of my employees are not very technically versed, so i try to avoid that they have to login to ther account and check it there. They use a nfc token to punch in and out so they usually do not need to directly interact with kimai. If i close the month before i create the pdf and an employee finds an error, may it be they just forgot to punch in or out or an error cause be any other reason, than i can't correct the month anymore. Only solution i see for me right now is to directly access the database and correct it there if a month is allready closed or export the date and create the pdf myself maybe using a latex template which imports the exported date.

Ah, in that case I can help you: the next version includes a preview PDF.

Release: this weekend or next week
