How do the hours work in the “Report time for something else” feature?

Mauricioms

I've been trying to use the “Report time for something else” feature in Resource Management, under the Time & Expenses tab.

However, even when I assign hours to a project and those hours are approved by the approver, no task appears in the Schedule tab.

How do these hours work? Do they only affect reports? Where can I view them?

Hey @Mauricioms

My understanding is that "Report time for something else" is primarily designed to capture actual time against a project or category for reporting and utilisation purposes, rather than creating scheduled assignments in the Schedule tab.

If the hours have been approved, I would expect them to be reflected in timesheet, utilisation, and reporting views, but not automatically generate a task or allocation within the Schedule.

I'd be interested to hear from others more familiar with Resource Management, but I believe scheduled work still needs to be created through project assignments rather than time entry.

Let me know how you get on.
