When a time card is processed, expense lines get generated automatically. I want the time card part working as it is but not to create expense lines.

I see that there is a BR named "Process time card" on time card table. Now if I turn it active false, expense lines are not generated but time card also remains in approved state and not go to processed state. 

My concerns are:

1. Is it okay to leave the state as approved and not processed. Will it cause any issue when I turn on that BR "Process time card" again in future? 

2. Is there another way that time card gets to processed state but no expense line is generated?

Please suggest.

Hi @Aditya 

Curious to know the business case behind this ask. 

Thanks,

I believe they have the cost management activated but want to use it at a later point of time and now want to deal with these right now.

Won't hiding it from the project view work for them?

Even if expense lines are generating, they can hide the related list (tab)... trying to see the easy approach here without customization hence above suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. But can you help me understand

1. what would be the difference if I leave the time cards in approved state and not processed. What is the difference between the two? (As I will only be turning off that BR "Process time card" and not modifying a piece of code).

Also, If expense lines keep generating, where it will all show up? I mean there must be some way where one will be able to see all the cost?
