A Time Sheet Allowance can be associated with a specific Project.
Edit the Allowance Type for the Project
Introduction
You can associate one or more Time sheet Allowances to a Project, so that these allowances can be calculated for Time Sheet Users who work on the Project. e.g. Height Allowance for working on high buildings. These are allowances that related to certain Projects. General Allowances, e.g. Meal allowance do not need to be set up like this.
You must have the Security Role of TIMESHEETALLOWANCEMTC to access this area.
