Use assisted setup to configure time sheets
You can use the assisted setup to configure timesheets in Business Central. From the Assisted Setup page, you can run the Set Up Time Sheets guide to configure the time sheet function in Business Central.
To access the Assisted Setup page, select the Search for Page icon in the top-right corner of the page, enter assisted setup, and select the related link.
When you select Set Up Time Sheets, the wizard opens.
Select Next to proceed to the first step, in which you can do the following things:
Configure the user setup to specify the time sheet users and the time sheet administrator.
Configure employees.
Set up causes of absence.
By selecting Next, you can specify the time sheet first weekday. Based on the user setup, the program suggests the time sheet administrator.
In the next step, you can specify which resources use time sheets. For each resource, you can assign the owner and the approver. You can select from the users, set up on the User Setup page. You can also specify that for jobs, the person responsible on the job card is the approver.
Next, you can specify if you want to use time sheets to register and approve employee absences. This requires that you link employees to resources.
In the final step, you can select to create time sheets. When you do so, the Create Time Sheets report opens. You can set the starting date and number of weeks to create time sheets for specific periods. When this is done, you are ready to start using time sheets in Business Central.
