Accela Time Accounting API

For general time accounting, Civic Platform provides the ability for employees to record the amount of time spent in performing their daily tasks, the descriptions and costs of materials used while performing those tasks, and the usage of vehicles related to the tasks performed. Civic Platform captures time accounting information in two contexts: - Time and materials - Time related to a particular process or group of processes As employees log their activity in the Time Accounting Tracker, the agency calculates fees and charges, and applies them to a record.Agencies can also record costs, for reporting purposes, not related to processing any specific information. The agency can define any number of time accounting types and assign an hourly rate or percentage adjustment to use to for each type.
