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.

Set up your users

All users of the Self Service web app must be set up as Sage 200 users and have the Is Web User option selected in their user properties.

Open: System Administration > Users | General.

Assign timesheets and expense claims features to the relevant roles

Open: System Administration.

Select Roles, right-click a role and select Features.

Assign the relevant features to the role:

Feature	Task
Timesheets > Add Timesheets	Enter timesheets.
Timesheets > Authorise Timesheets	Authorise timesheets.
Expenses > Add Expenses	Enter expense claims.
Expenses > Authorise Expenses	Authorise expense claims.
