Dear Team,

Greetings!!!

I am managing the timesheets for resources (person) for both internal employees and external workers. I am facing the following two problems:

Problem 1: Not able to charge the usage of resources to the related salaries expense account for employees and the related G/L account for invoicing the vendor.

Problem 2: Resources cannot be imported to the purchase invoice, only usage can be recorded in the project. How to invoice such lines by linking or importing those lines from the project planning lines?

Based on my trials, I found from the timesheets and projects we can only record the usage. Their impact on G/L accounts cannot be recorded. For recording their impact separate transactions needed to be recorded manually without linking to the projects and timesheet in the form of salaries expense in general ledger and vendor accounts / payable accounts from purchase documents.

Looking forward for the solution. If we can record the impact on G/L accounts while recording the usage of resources from the timesheets.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Sheikh Muhammad Jawad

Resource Usage Recording from timesheets, Impact on G/L Accounts

Hello,

In Business Central, timesheets and projects only track resource usage, not the financial side. To post costs like salaries or vendor expenses to the G/L, you’ll need to handle them through journals.

Hope this answer will help you!

Hi, The first question is similar to another question you submitted.

Resource Field on Employees Card

As for your second question, as far as I know, sales invoice in the Project module supports resources, but procurement does not.

Thanks

Hi,

As I understand the Resource field on the Employee Card is used to link an employee with a resource, so that the employee’s work can flow into operational areas like jobs, service orders, and timesheets (which post on resources).

This link makes it possible to use the same data for payroll, bonuses, and attendance in HR, while also enabling reporting and cost tracking since postings are done at the resource level.
