Copying Planned Hours to Actual Hours

Overview

The Copy Planned Hours to Actual Hours feature automates the administrative workflow for planners. It allows you to replace existing actual hours with pre-scheduled planned hours for multiple timesheet records simultaneously. Before modifying any records, the system requires a manual validation step to prevent accidental data overwrites.
