What does the Odoo Project & Timesheet skill do?

This skill helps configure Odoo Project and Timesheets for service businesses by providing step-by-step setup instructions for project budgets, task management, employee timesheet logging, manager approval workflows, and converting approved timesheet hours into customer invoices under Time & Materials billing.

What are the two ways to log time in Odoo timesheets?

Time can be logged directly inside a task's Timesheets tab (recommended for accuracy, requiring employee, date, description, and duration), or in bulk at end-of-day through the Timesheets app itself.

Is timesheet approval available in all Odoo versions?

No, Timesheet Approval is an Enterprise-only feature in some Odoo versions, so you should verify your plan includes it before relying on this workflow.

What should you set a budget alert at to prevent project overruns?

Set a budget alert at 80% of planned hours so project managers can intervene before the project exceeds its budget.

Is Time & Materials invoicing suitable for fixed-price projects?

No, Time & Materials invoicing works well for hourly billing but is not suited to fixed-price projects—use milestones or manual invoice lines for those instead.
