Enter time and disbursements

Adding time to a timesheet

To add time either

  • Select the New Timesheet button on the bottom right of the screen

  • Double click on the calendar at the time interval you require

The screen defaults to Non-chargeable Time. To enter non-chargeable time:

  • Select the Time and Date.

  • If the same entry applies to multiple dates (e.g. annual leave), add additional dates in the Date box. This will create the same entry for each selected date.

  • Select a Category or go straight to Overheads.

  • From the drop-down, select the relevant Overhead (you can start typing to search).

  • Enter Units or Hours (the system will automatically update the other field).

  • Add a narration.

  • Click Save and Close or Save and New.

To enter Chargeable Time, start the entry as above, then continue with the chargeable time details.

Enter chargeable time as follows:

  • Client – start typing the client name or code and select from the list.

  • Only open tasks for that client will be available (add any new tasks on the client card first if needed).

  • Select an Activity from the list of preconfigured activities.

  • Enter either Units or Hours (the other field will update automatically).

  • If you’d like narrations pre-loaded, add them under Maintenance > Standard Narrations so they’re available in the Search Narr box.

  • Otherwise, type the narration directly.

  • When finished, click Save & Close or Save & New.

Adding a disbursement to a timesheet

Select the New Disbursement button.

Most disbursements will relate to a client :

  • Select the client by typing into the Client box.

  • The Task box will then appear – select the relevant task (as set up on the client).

  • Select the relevant Disbursement.

  • Enter the Amount.

  • Enter an appropriate Narration.

  • (Optional) Upload a file from your desktop to attach to the disbursement. This can be viewed later under the Documents tab for the client.

  • Once complete, click Save and Close or Save and New.

Disbursements display in purple on your timesheet calendar view.

They are also saved as a separate batch.

Entering a time and disbursement entry at the same time

If you want to add a disbursement while also entering a time entry, tick the Disbursement checkbox to display the disbursement options.

You can upload a file and enter all required details on the same screen.

The disbursement will still appear separately in the timesheet calendar view and will be saved as a separate batch.
