Re: How do employee choose a project name when they fill in their timesheet? Or how to link time ...
I'd like to share how timesheet works in QuickBooks, AlanS0112,
The Timesheet function in the employee section is separate from the Weekly Timesheet showing in the Plus (+) window.
When you set up the Employee Portal, your employee will only be able to enter the start and end time of their payroll hours. The option for adding the project time is unavailable in this field.
Instead, you'll need to set up the employee as a Time tracker in the Manage Users page. This allows your employee to add time for their projects.
Here's how:
- Click the Gear icon located in the upper right-hand corner.
- Under Your Company, click Manage Users.
- Click Add user, and select Time tracking only.
- Click Next.
- Select or add the employee, and click Next.
- Enter contact information, and then click Save.
An invitation will be sent to their email address, so they can log in to the Time tracking page. Then, they can select either Weekly timesheet or Single activity to enter the time and select the specific project.
Once they're done entering the time, you can see the information when you go to the Weekly timesheet or Single activity section in your QuickBooks.
I'm adding this article that contains additional information on how to turn on and set up time tracking.
