# Approve Week/Request for Approval

`POST /timesheets/{timesheet_id}/approval`

Submit a timesheet week for approval.

The week's owner uses this endpoint to request review; an approver acts on the request via `PUT /timesheets/{timesheet_id}/approval`.

The `timesheet_id` is the concatenation of `user_id` and a 4-digit `week_id` in `YYWW` format (no separator). Example: user `14856` for week `2535` (week 35 of 2025) → `timesheet_id = 148562535`. See the Timesheets overview for the full Week ID definition.
