A Look at Sage 200 Web Time & Expenses
One of the great benefits of the web is that it can be accessed from virtually any location. So when you trying to manage timesheets and expenses remotely this is a great innovation.
Sage 200 web time and expenses is great add on application for the Sage 200 business suite that is designed so you spend less time tracking and reporting and more time generating revenue. Using a flexible hierarchy customised to the way you work, so it’s easy to track and invoice no matter how complex your projects are. The Sage 200 Web Time & Expenses (WTE) module is linked to the Sage 200 Project Accounting module and allows users to enter and their timesheet and expense claims remotely using a web browser.
What is Sage 200 Web Time and Expenses?
• Sage 200 Web Time & Expense (WTE) is an optional module that you can add to the Sage 200 Project Accounting module.
• Users can enter their time and expenses remotely, via a web interface. The entries will then be synchronised back into Project Accounting for approval and inclusion into a project.
• Entries can be made over an intranet, or securely via the web.
• Cost-effective time and expense recording
• This cost effective module allows your people to enter Time and Expenses only, so you won't need to licence them as full Sage 200 users.
• Only the people who process the timesheets, and anyone who authorises expenses, need to have Sage 200 on their PC
The system can be configured in a number of ways, for example supporting users who enter their timesheets and expenses online (using an internet connection) or through a company intranet. One of the additional benefits of the Sage 200 WTE module is that the user does not require Sage 200 to be installed on their PC to allow the entry of timesheets and expenses.
Sage 200 Web Time and Expenses gives you the flexibility to track your time and expenses in a way that works for you. Rather than forcing you to track your time the way someone else thinks you should, Sage 200 Web time and expenses allows you to model your time tracking the way you do business. It's easy and quick to use, so you can start tracking your time and expenses immediately.
Flexibility
You can add as many users as you like to the WTE module; this is done on a named user basis since each WTE user is a named resource within the Sage 200 Project Accounting module.
If you need to add different people, no problem - either substitute them for existing named people no longer using the system, or add new users.
