PROJECT ACCOUNTING · Workflow idea

See how project time is adding up without losing the detail behind each total.

For a project team using time entries to compare planned and actual hours, organize updated task time under the right project and work period. Incorrect task links, category labels, or repeated updates can distort project reports. Verify time entries and project identifiers, reconcile totals with the approved time source, restrict access to employee and client details, and have a project or finance owner review results before using them for billing or performance decisions.

    Check that changed or repeated entries do not inflate a total or erase prior work.

  4. Reconcile summaries with source entries

    Compare project and period totals with authorized time records and flag discrepancies.

  5. Approve before billing or people decisions

    Have a project or finance owner review totals before external billing or performance use.
