Torsten, Thank you for the Help. I followed your direction and got it working. When I was playing with it early, I was missing the security settings for the time_accounting group. Also thanks for explaining action area; I was hitting a wall with that one. The software is turning out to be a great fit for our organization; the only thing I would ask is for a little more documentation. ;) Have a great day!

Clicked on TimeAccounting, get Edit Time Account Preference.
Added two Actions, Start and Stop, (not quite sure the Action is for, so I figured I play a little.
Clicked on the User and clicked submit.
But I not see anything really happing.
Under the ProjectSetting, I added a project called Reports
I’m just not seeing where this module is working. Any, and I do mean any help would be so helpful.
So the user who's supposed to use the time_accounting does have a valid time_accounting entry (current date is between start date and end date) and has at least ro-access to the time_accounting group? These are the steps to get the time_accounting running: (1) assign access rights of group time_accounting to users (2) create actions - these are short descriptions of what may be done in a project, like "support", "development", "meeting" etc. (3) create user settings for each user who should use time_accounting: => select the user in the drop-down list an hit "New" => configure the user entry (start-/end-date, leave days, weekly working hours, validity, overtime from a recent time account (4) create projects (name, description and validity) Now the user should see the time-accounting module in her/his navigation bar and be able to record his work. Just in case there is a bug - which OTRS-version and DB do you use? regards, Torsten Thau - -- Torsten Thau, Dipl. Inform. c.a.p.e.
