Can you enter weekly timesheets for previous years?

I need to enter timesheets for previous years so I can accurately run reports for hours on projects. Is there a way to enter previous years  or am I limited to the one year window?

Can you enter weekly timesheets for previous years?

Hi there, @Beth-Phog.

 

Currently, QuickBooks Online (QBO) only allows us to enter weekly timesheets for a 1-year window backward. Having the option to track the weekly timesheets for the previous years is a great idea. I recommend sending feedback by following the steps below.

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Share your feedback.
  4. Click Next to submit.

 

Another easy way to share your feedback is to enter them through this link: QuickBooks Online Feature Requests.

 

In the meantime, I recommend entering your previous timesheets into Single Time Activity. In there, you're allowed to enter time for previous dates.

 

Additionally, I've added these articles that'll help you track and manage timesheet in QuickBooks Online:

 

 

In case you'll need assistance in dealing with your time activity in QBO, don't hesitate to get back on this thread. Have a great day!

Prepare your Time-Activities data with the following template

then utilize an importer tool to proceed

As an additional option, utilize the trial version for a backup restore app as for your safety net.
