# Why can’t I edit a time entry with the “Rejected” status?

Entries with the **Rejected** status cannot be edited directly — a deliberate safeguard so that rejected work times do not change by accident. If you want to fix such an entry, first bring it back for editing by giving it the **Pending** status, then correct it and approve it.

||| Caution: Entries in the records are only corrected by managers — the Manager, the Location Manager and the Organisation Administrator. An Employee does not edit any entries. If you have the permissions and still cannot edit an entry, check its status.

# Bringing an entry back for editing

Move the rejected entry back to pending first — that unlocks it for correction.

1. In **"RCP System" → "Records"** tick the entry with the checkbox on the left.

2. In the top bulk action bar click **"Pending"** — the entry will change to the **Pending** status.

3. Now you can **edit** the entry (the **"Edit"** action in the row), and once the times are fixed, **approve** it.

|| Remember: Only **Approved** entries count towards exports and summaries — **Rejected** and **Pending** entries are not included. So after correcting, remember to approve.
