Set Up Time Entry Dates for Project Workers

Review setup considerations for resource plans.

Security: Set Up: Tenant Setup - Financials
domain in the System functional area.

By default, Workday enables the date range for time entry as the start and end dates of a project.

You can narrow the date range by using the start and end dates from the:

Resource plan

Project plan tasks

Task resources

To narrow the date range even more, you can select multiple sources for the dates.

Access the

Edit Tenant Setup - Financials

task.

In the

Projects

section, consider:

Option	Description
Use Resource Plan Dates	Select to enable workers to log their time during the date range on the resource plan.
Use Project Plan Task Dates	Select to enable workers to log their time during the date range on the project plan task.
Use Task Resource Dates	Select to enable workers to log their time during the date range on the task resources.

If you don't select an option, workers can log their time between the start and end dates of the project.

If you select multiple options, workers can only log their time where the date ranges overlap.

A project has these date ranges:

Project: January 1 through June 30.

Resource plan: February 1 through May 31.

Project plan task: March 1 through June 30.

Task resources: March 1 through April 30.

Depending on the options you select, workers can log their time on the project during these date ranges:

Option	Date Range Workers can Log Time
