Selection Area

By using the elements in this area, you can select time activities from a specific date range for specific project and employee. The table lists time activities that are ready for release, that is, are assigned the Completed status.

Note:
If the Construction Project Management feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, time activities linked to a daily field report can be released only if this daily field report is completed. For more information on processing daily field reports, see Reporting On-Site Work Progress.

Contract

If the Multiple Base Currencies feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and a contract is selected, when you select any activities to process them and create contract usage, the system verifies whether the current branch has the same base currency as the bill-to customer of the contract. If these base currencies are different, the system displays an error message.

If the contract has a bill-to customer without a base currency—that is, if the customer has been extended from a branch—the activity can be processed regardless of the current branch.
