Time Sheet References Concepts
Time sheet references are to activities that you have already set up in the Activities workspace.
When you enter time in the Weekly Time Sheets workspace, you can enter values in the Time Activity 1-3 fields and the Amount Activity 1 - 4 fields, in addition to the Monday - Sunday fields. These fields let you record time and expense amounts that are independent of the activity entered on the current time sheet line. Instead, the time and expense amounts are associated with activities specified in this workspace.
Examples
- In the Time Activity 1 field, you specified the Transport activity.
- In the Time Activity 2 field, you entered the Working after hours activity.
- In the Amount Activity 1 field, you entered the Subsistence Allowance activity.
Example 1: In the Weekly Time Sheets workspace, you specify a job number, an activity number (used for meetings with customer), and a quantity (6 hours) in the Monday column. In the Time Activity 1 field on the same line, you enter a quantity of 2. The result is that 6 hours of customer meeting time is entered, along with 2 units of the Transport activity.
Example 2: As a consultant, you work for 10 hours for a customer. Two of those hours are after normal working hours. You are also entitled to subsistence allowance. In the Weekly Time Sheets workspace, you register 10 hours of the External Meetings activity. In the Time Activity 2 field on the same line, you enter a value of 2, for two hours of working after hours. Finally, in the Amount Activity 1 field, you enter the quantity of 1, for one unit of subsistence allowance. This way, you do not need to enter working after hours and subsistence allowance on separate lines in the timesheet.
