Hi
I'm relatively new to working with business central and I'd like to get some basic info on timesheeting, and how the system treats them. I know how to create a timesheet, submit it, get approval and then use a journal to post, however I have some basic questions I can't seem to get an answer to, and I think I know the answer but I'm hoping I'm missing something. I've previously almost exclusively used SAP so this is a big change.
Firstly I'd really like to understand the double entry for timesheet postings. So the debit ends up on a project, but the other side I believe goes to a payroll account (although this can be changed). I believe the account can be changed, but can other details be added, such as a department code/project and can this be tailored for each member of staff? We have a several central pools of people that are booked to different projects so the credit should go to a different place depending on which team. I don't think this is unusual.
Secondly, is there a way of having multiple approvals. From what I've seen, if a timesheet is submitted and the approver is on leave or has left the business, the timesheet needs to be cancelled, the approver changed, and the timesheet submitted again. Is there a way around this?
Thanks
