By default, hours entered for historical weeks in Maintain Hours or Timesheet Input save but do not transfer to payroll. Enabling the Historical Timesheet Entry advanced option allows these hours to be entered and transferred to payroll. Users will then be prompted whether to transfer hours to payroll immediately or keep them in the historical period. This article explains how to enable this feature and optionally disable the prompt to always save hours to the current period.

When enabled, users entering historical hours will see this prompt:
