See what the hours bought
Decide which hours are billable
Why this step
Utilisation by employee, project, task and billing type — and the rules behind it. This is the step that turns a timesheet from a record into an invoice line or a costed variation.
What this does
Generates multi-dimensional timesheet analytical reports to measure labor utilization rates, compare billable versus non-billable hours, and configure validation rules.
Before you start
- Timesheets submitted by department teams.

Common mistakes
