How to Post Time (pending queue)

Introduction

The Time Ledger has a holding system called the Pending Queue.

Postings made on the Time ledger will not be updated to the Ledger automatically; they sit on a pending queue waiting to be updated.

They are normally updated once a denoted staff member, with the right privileges, has confirmed the postings are correct.

Some WIP reports do not have the option of including pending items in the report. The only reports that allow this function to be selected are Billing Decisions Report and Postings list.

To update the postings:

1. From the IRIS main menu, click IRIS Time.

2. Click Pending Queue | Update T/L

3. Enter the Periods that you have been working on. For example, if you only wanted to update postings made to December(2010/12) and January(2011/01) periods, ensure these periods are selected in the from and To fields.

4. Against Include entries for ensure Time and Expenses are selected.

Depending on what postings you have made, you will need to select the correct options.

For example if you want to update:

• Timesheet Postings - select Timesheets

• General Adjustments, General Expenses and Corrections - select Other Postings

• Write Offs - select WIP Write Offs

• Invoices that Write Out WIP - select Fees Documents

• Manual Invoices entered in Time Ledger - select T/L documents

• Client Opening Balances entered - select Opening Balances

If you would like only specified date postings to be updated to Ledger then type in the required dates. For example, 28/2/2013.

5. Click OK to start the update.
