There are no time entries, but when I try to add a time it says it is locked. I am unable to unlock due to their being no times entered. However it will allow hours to be added for a separate employee

I greatly appreciate your post here on the Community page, Wilson.

 

Currently, we're unable to unlock a weekly timesheet in QuickBooks Online as it needs to be done within QuickBooks Time.

 

When exporting timesheets to QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Time locks the timesheets to prevent them from being exported again. If you need to modify or delete a timesheet in TSheets, use the Unlock Exported Time tool.

 

In addition, you can only open time up to 90 days in the past. Here's how to unlock time:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Time, go to the QuickBooks dropdown and select Unlock Exported Time.
  2. Choose a Start Date and an End Date.
  3. Select All employees to pick which employees you want to unlock time for.
  4. Review the timesheets, then choose Unlock Timesheets.
  5. In the notice that displays, select Confirm Unlock.

 

You will see the steps to do this in this article: Unlock TSheets timesheets exported to QuickBooks.

 

You'll be able to export QuickBooks Time timesheet data to QuickBooks Online.

 

Kindly post an update here if you need anything about QuickBooks and timesheets. I'll be more than happy to share some more information whenever you need it. Have a good one!
