Are you or any of your team encountering issues while trying to track time against a specific budget and its services?

We'll explore each potential issue below.

If you are looking to track time or log expenses against a service in a sales deal in your CRM, and cannot find it, take a look at this article for possible reasons and solutions.

​

1) User Not Added to Budget's Sharing Options

Ensure that the user attempting to track time has been added to the budget's sharing options.
​

2) Inadequate Budget Date Range

Check if the budget's date range covers the desired date. If not, adjust the date range accordingly to enable time tracking.

3) Missing Cost Rate for the User

Check that the user has a defined cost rate for the relevant date.
Update this in Settings > Users or through Resourcing > Employees, ensuring the cost rate covers the necessary date range.

4) Delivered Budget

Verify if the budget is open for tracking time. If it has already been delivered, reopen it to allow time tracking.


5) Budget Lacks Services

Add services to the budget to enable time tracking. You cannot track time against budgets without services.

6) Disabled Time Tracking Against Services

If time tracking against services has been disabled in the budget, enable it by clicking on the Edit icon and toggling the option to allow time tracking.

7) Time Tracking Restricted to Assigned Services

Check whether time and expense tracking has been restricted to specific service types or people assigned within the budget.
