Time codes classify labor time for an organization during project
execution. Based on business requirements, you will categorize and create
time codes in this area. This will help the project manager or team member
who has the necessary permission to associate the time code with a project.
The associated time codes are used to track labor time for the organization.
To perform this task, you must be assigned to an
administrator role with the required security permission. For more information
about roles and security, see EPM security settings.
During project execution, the project manager associates the time
codes to a project. Team members should use the associated time codes when
submitting timesheets.
If you have several
time codes, you can categorize and classify them under a top level time code.
Then you create child level time codes and group them within a top level time
code. You can add and nest child time codes within any level.

a time code:
- In the Admin area, click EPM Settings.

on the left pane, click Time Codes, and then click
