3. Ensure that your timesheet entry method is set to units.

4. Enter your opening time in lieu balances, if applicable:

   Example: you owe hours, so your opening time in lieu balance is a debit. Therefore, select a positive unit. If the opening balance exceeds 24 hours, you will have to enter timesheets for a number of days.

   Example, you have accrued hours in lieu, so your opening balance is a credit. Therefore, select a negative unit. If the opening balance exceeds 24 hours, you will have to enter timesheets for a number of days.
