The Estimate to Completion (ETC) indicates how much time is expected to complete a project task. Project managers can enter this value when they set up their project. If they do so, you can view this value in the time entry row’s ETC column on your timesheet. The ETC changes each week according to the actuals you entered the previous week; it indicates the number of expected hours left to complete the task. For example, an ETC value of 60 means that an estimated 60 more work hours are required to complete the task or assignment.
You can edit the ETC, although you should only change it if you complete the assignment ahead of schedule or if you need more hours. When you change the ETC, it is in a pending state. The pending ETC is used until the project manager accepts or rejects the new value. If the time entry row’s ETC displays "0", the project manager has decided not to accept the new value.
Note: See the Project Management User Guide for more information.
Timesheets are temporarily locked when you save them. The timesheet unlocks when the save is complete. This prevents two users from updating a timesheet at the same time. If you attempt to save a previous version of a timesheet, an alert message appears. You must close and then re-open the timesheet to display the most recent version.
