• From the list, you can click any timecard number to go directly to its detail.
• Click New to create a new timecard.

Completing a timecard is the way to book time against projects. To be able to book time to a project, that project must be created in the system and resources assigned to it. If you have permissions to do so you can:

• Create projects and assign resources to them.
• Book time to projects.
• Submit timecards and recall them on the classic and enhanced user interface.
• Correct timecards or approve them outside the normal process using the Admin Edit option.
• Control whether resources enter their own time.
• Set up timecards for automatic or manual approval.
• Set up resources to enter timecards without logging in to Salesforce.com. This allows use of a less expensive licensing solution.
• Determine whether a missing timecard is generated based on the status of the timecard.
• Log timecards using the classic and enhanced user interface.

When you submit a timecard, some transaction records are created to allow the information to be rolled-up to assignments and milestones. If your administrator has configured the system to do so, an automatic email is sent to users with permission to approve the timecard.

When a timecard is approved, the numbers are rolled up to RPGs, Projects and Resources. Depending on the options that your administrator has set, this can generate and release billing event items to transfer the time to your financial system for invoicing.

Note

Your system administrator can change week start and ending days on the enhanced timecard user interface. If this occurs, a Timecard entered for a week ending date that is now a different day might not be available for editing or display.
