Time Reports is used to follow up how many hours have been spent on a Work Task. When reporting time for a resource it creates a reported time report and cost line. Cost can be fetched from Employee Compensation, Resource Group or Maintenance Organization.
Time reporting could be done for a resource, employee or secondment employee of another company. For resource groups, the Resource ID is validated, while for individual resources, the corresponding Employee ID is validated and fetched.
Note: If IFS/Human Resource is installed and if the EDITWOTIME property code is defined for your company and has the property value YES, it will be possible to continue reporting or modifying time when the day for the employee is confirmed, authorized or transferred. If the property value is set to No, then it will not be possible to update the time for the employee once the day is confirmed, authorized or transferred. (This is valid for time reported for a resource type Person)

When time is reported for a future date, the corresponding sales line will be created with a Price Effective Date set in the future. The sales price is retrieved based on this future effective date.
