PTE Timesheets that cross over from the previous year into the new year prompt users incorrectly
When using PTE Timesheets for Project Accounting, if the start date for your Timesheet Periods begins in the previous year the user will be prompted with a message that states, "The timesheet for this period has been approved or submitted. Do you want to enter another timesheet for this period?" While it does not hurt anything or affect payroll, it can be misleading to users and cause them to second guess if they had previously entered time for that period already or not.
The reality of the issue is that the pay period 1 begins in 2024, but ends in 2025. The system sees that the user already entered data for period 1 and prompts them with the message. However, this is period 1 for 2025, and it is looking at period 1 for 2024 which began in 2023 and ended in 2024.
The suggestion would be add code for this specific scenario to avoid user confusion and worry. While it does not hurt anything, it can be misleading and a change would avoid this.
