Reported Time Approval Workflow

Is anyone using the reported time approval workflow in Time and Labor?  We are doing an implementation and have run into a scenario we find odd.  Our workflow approver is set to the department manager.  If the approving manager logs in and enters time for one of his employees using MSS timesheet, he still needs to approve the time.  Does this seem right?  I would think that it should be implied that if the approver is entering the time, that it is approved.

I am not sure if there is a configuration for this.  I thought I would ask the community.

Thanks for your response Thomas.  I have self-approve and auto approve on.  I thought that the self approve was used for a scenario where the requester (empliID on the time) and the approver are the same.  In the scenario I am referring to the approver is entering time for someone else, of which he is the approver for.  Should these settings accomidate for this scenario?

You can set up the workflow with self approval
and auto approval, so if the approver enters it, it can auto
approve.
