Use this function to customize the Time tracking plan (FUNBENCHO) function to the needs of your organization and your processes.

Your system is provided with a standard or master Time tracking plan entry format. You can modify the master or create new entry formats to suit your processes, your users or just to make your system more convenient to use. Each format affects the way in which information is entered, displayed and printed.

You create each entry format as a Transaction. Each transaction you define is available for selection when the Time tracking plan function is selected from the menu. You are advised, however, to get a basic understanding of how your system works before changing the master format.
