Set timesheet status
Approve, decline or restore timesheet entries to pending.
MCP tool shiftbase_write → set_timesheet_status
write Confirm
Changes the status of every listed entry and returns the new status of each. Approved hours go on to the payroll report. A closed timesheet period rejects the change. Your role needs the right to approve hours. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters

| entry_ids array required | array | Entry ids from list_timesheet_entries. |
