| Using hours accounting People facilitates or supports the following: - Quick access to and easy
registration of hours (manually)

To make sure hours are registered for the appropriate tasks,
and the cost calculated for the appropriate package, you must use the
appropriate transaction type. Transaction Type | Package | - Production Order
- Project (PCS)
- Assembly Order
| Manufacturing | | Project | | Service |
For any transaction type, you can define tasks for which you or
your team members register hours. You can also use tasks from the Assignments (bpmdm0130m000) session. As a result, you can predefine recurring
assignments. To retrieve assignments, from the appropriate menu, select Use Assignments. Depending on the Insert with Zero Hours setting, the tasks appear
either with or without the preset hours. As long as the hours are not
processed, you can still edit these hours. Assignments allow for efficient and
effective hours registration. Note - You can also use assignments for general tasks.
- Although you cannot define assignments for a team, you can
distribute the actual hours for a team task among the team members. To switch
to a team view, on the View menu, point to Sort by, and click Team, Year, Period.
- You can use working time schedules for all transaction types
except for general tasks and Project hours.

double-click the Hours and Expenses folder.

default entity for which you register hours. Entities are, for example, a
project, a production order, or a work order. )
- Leave the employee code empty if you want to register machine
hours only. Enter the year and the period you are working in and define the
task. If necessary, you can run the Use Assignments (bptmm1204m000) session.
