QuickBooks Time

I know a possible reason why the option to edit your timesheets is unavailable in QuickBooks Time (QBT), @CrownCreations. Let me elaborate on it in detail.

 

After the timesheets are transferred to QuickBooks, QBT will activate a lock on them to prevent duplicate exports, which means the option to edit will no longer be available. If you want to make changes or remove a timesheet that has already been exported, you can use the Unlock Exported Time tool.

 

Modifying your time entries in QuickBooks, considering that the timesheets were already utilized in your previous payroll, has the potential to disrupt your payroll further.
 

If you still want to edit your time entries despite the possible risk, here's how:

Step 1: Unlock time Note: You can only unlock time up to 90 days in the past.

 

 First, you need to remove the “export lock” on your desired timesheets.

 

  1. In QuickBooks Time, go to the QuickBooks dropdown and select Unlock Exported Time.
  2. Choose a Start Date and an End Date.
  3. Select All employees to select which employees you want to unlock time for.
  4. Review the timesheets, then select Unlock Timesheets.
  5. In the notice that displays, select Confirm unlock.

 

Step 2: Unapprove time
 

Then, to make edits, you need to unapprove the timesheets

 

  1. Go to Approvals and choose the same date range and employees you chose to unlock.
  2. Select Unapprove for each employee.

Since there will also be changes on your payroll in QuickBooks, you'll need to contact our QuickBooks Payroll Support for the adjustments.
