How to Prevent Unwanted Planned Time Entries on NetSuite Projects?
Learn how the 'Create Planned Time Entries' checkbox on NetSuite project records can automatically generate time entries for assigned resources.
Short answer
To prevent the automatic generation of planned time entries for resources assigned to project tasks, ensure the 'Create Planned Time Entries' checkbox on the project record's Preferences subtab is unchecked. This setting controls whether time entries are created upon project creation or task saving, avoiding unexpected 'ghost' entries.
Scenario
Users may observe unexpected planned time entries appearing on project records or for resources assigned to project tasks. These entries are automatically generated, leading to confusion or inaccurate project planning data. This behavior typically occurs when new projects are created or project tasks are saved.
Solution
Planned time entries can be automatically generated when a new project is created or a project task is saved. This occurs if the 'Create Planned Time Entries' checkbox is enabled. To prevent the automatic generation of these entries:
Navigate to the specific project record.
Locate the 'Preferences subtab' on the project record.
Ensure the 'Create Planned Time Entries' checkbox is unchecked.
When this checkbox is unchecked, planned time entries will not be automatically added for resources assigned to project tasks upon project creation or task saving.
