Managing timesheets


OpenERP allows you to install a human resource module that will allow you to track employee time and attendance. Timesheets are most useful when you have jobs for which you need to account hours and assign those hours to projects or customers. To utilize this feature, install the Timesheets application.

Once you have installed the Timesheets application, the Human Resources menu will be expanded to include a new section called Time Tracking. This is in the section that you manage and validate timesheets.

Looking at your current timesheet

We can begin by clicking on My Current Timesheet to bring up your current timesheet. If you are logged in as Administrator, you can choose to view any timesheet. In this case, we are viewing the timesheet for Tina Robbins and have clicked on the Add a Line button to add a line to the timesheet.

Tip

In OpenERP, you will need to set up an account to track time and attendance before you can begin entering hours into your timesheet.
