You can lock time entries in Financial Cents to prevent other team members from editing their time entries after a specific point in time.

Time entries:

  • Can be manually locked from within time tracking report

  • Are automatically locked when you send an invoice with billable time entries

Manually locking time entries from the time tracking report

When viewing a time entry in the time tracking report you can click the lock icon to lock it.

Note: Only users with permission to lock time entries can complete this action

Once locked, the lock icon will be yellow and will prevent team members from editing the time entry.

If you have permission to lock time entries, you can also unlock the entry to edit it.

Auto-locking time entries when invoiced

Billable time entries are automatically locked in Financial Cents when if on an invoice that has been sent to a client.

How it works

When the billable time entry is added to a draft invoice, you can still edit it, but you will see a warning explaining that editing the time entry will not affect the time entry already applied to the draft invoice.

Once the actual invoice has been sent to the client, the time entry will be locked and cannot be edited, as shown below.
