Time processing categories

Accountants Enterprise with Practice Manager only

The Time Processing Category is a period for which bills and timesheets can be posted. Examples of categories are:

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • Fortnightly

  • Monthly

  • Quarterly.

System administrators create categories and define one for each employee using Maintenance > Time Setup > Time Processing Categories.

When you create a timesheet or expense sheet, the system automatically generates a sheet that uses the category pre-defined by your system administrator. The category translates to a time period shown in the Create New Sheet window when you create a timesheet or an expense sheet.
