What does the timesheet do?

Modified on Wed, 13 Sep 2023 at 11:06 AM


Feature reserved for the accounting firm's practitioner


Why set up the timesheet option?

The timesheet enables practitioners to record the time spent on an engagement sold to a client by the accounting firm.

This information enables to the accounting firms to determinate the profitability of the engagement.


To help practitioners complete their timesheets, we suggest automatic time on companies.


If you want to set up the timesheet option, please contact support.


What does "suggested times" mean?

Suggested times is the list of consulted companies on fulll applications by the practitioners at the timetable defined in the accounting's firm configuration.

For each consulted company, a working time is suggested to the practitioner. This feedback is called "Suggested activity" in the timesheet.


The practitioner can modify this suggestion.

see article: "How can I update a time automatically suggested from the timesheet?"


Each practitioner can display  the consulted companies without the suggested times by deactivating the "Display suggested times on consulted companies" option on the timesheet homepage.


If you want to update the accounting firm's configuration for the timesheet, please contact support.
