Set up the Self Service web app for timesheets and expense claims
You can use the Self Service web app to enter and authorise timesheets and expense claims.
To set up the Self Service web app
The Self Service web app will use the same settings, resources and hierarchies, and projects that you set up in Project Accounting. As long as a Sage 200 user can enter timesheets and expense claims in Sage 200 Project Accounting, they will also be able to do so using the Self Service web app.
