Usage Guidelines

Review the following guidelines:

To add or modify a project task estimate:
- The Enable the "Hours remaining" on tasks estimating feature box must be checked in the Timesheets application settings in SuiteProjects Pro (Administration > Application Settings > Timesheets > other Settings).
- The user with internal ID userid must be assigned to the task.
- There must be a time entry against project_task_id in the timesheet with internal ID timesheet_id.
- The same project task estimate must not already exist. The combination project_taskid, userid, and timesheetid (if set) must be unique.
By default, you cannot modify a project task estimate associated with an approved or archived timesheet. Your account can be configured to allow using the API to modify approved and archived timesheets. To enable the feature, contact SuiteProjects Pro Support.
By default, updating a project task estimate triggers a recalculation for the project. Your account can be configured to disable recalculation when using the API to modify projects and project tasks. To enable the feature, contact SuiteProjects Pro Support.
