Timesheet Approval Configuration - Fixed Approval Routing

Question

Hello,
Currently our timesheet configuration is through chain approvals. Team member submits to their manager, manager does approval and sends to me (timesheet manager). I have Fixed Approval Routing unchecked, as I would like for the Manager to be able to select
me as manager to approve. However, after unchecking Fixed Approval Routing, it doesn't seem to pop up for managers to select me as the timesheet manager. They just get the dialogue box to click OK when approving. Is there a configuration I'm missing? I tried
this for every manager by delegating and it seems it just goes directly to their timesheet manager without having a message to send to. Previously, it would work fine, but after a few configuration tweaks it stopped popping up to select timesheet manager.

For Project Server 2013, Try following:
Add yourself in the "Timesheet Managers" list, which can be set under "Server Settings" -> "Timesheet
Managers"
Update Team member and make yourself as "Timesheet
Manager"
thru "Manage User" or thru "Resource Centre."
Update following setting on "Server
Settings" page, in the "Time and Task Management"
section, click "Timesheet Settings and Defaults"
Select the "Fixed Approval Routing" check box.
Under "Task Status Manager Approval", choose "Enabled" if you want managers to be able to approve individual
timesheet lines. You can also choose to "require line approval before timesheet approval."
Hope this will help you.
