Recording periodic time
Accountants Enterprise with Practice Manager only
Time is entered directly into the Periodic timesheet. You can create a timesheet from the toolbar or from the Employee page. If you have the authority, you can also create a timesheet on behalf of another employee by opening their Employee page.
You should enter the amount of time spent progressively as you complete each task.
You can choose to display a timesheet in a Periodic, Daily or Calendar entry view so that you can record your time in that view. See Changing timesheet data entry modes.
If there is no more time to record, advance the timesheet in the process using the Post Now button so that the time is reviewed and subsequently authorised.
See Daily timesheet fields and Periodic timesheet fields and for more information when using Daily or Periodic timesheets.
