Re. drafting hours

Chris, I think you've hit the nail on the head - it's a workflow problem.

With timesheets, the process is normally that an operator (ideally the 
individuals themselves) file their timesheet.  This means access to the 
timesheet module and (depending on the complexity of the business) some 
sort of subset of hour types (regular, overtime, travel or plumbing, 
electricity, gas, whatever).

The next step would be client authorisation.  This means access to a 
module that just lists the filed timesheets, maybe with some 
calculations and an 'OK' button that in principle despatches the 
timesheet into the accounts for processing.

This is, incidentally, a process identical to the one you'd use for 
expense authorisation - it may be worth having a look at this whole idea 
as a modular add-on.  It would sure be a serious help in some companies 
I've dealt with, but expense and time sheet handling are in some places 
complete systems on their own.
