Once the WBS has been created, different levels of the WBS can be assigned to specific operating units, departments, employees, time codes and functions. WBS assignments can also be limited to a certain date ranges. Specific WBS assignments will have the effect of limiting time and expense entry to the particular WBS only if those WBS levels have Yes selected in the WBS's setup Restrict Access field.

Keep in mind that if certain employees are going to be assigned at lower levels of the WBS, they must have access to all the upper levels of the WBS. For example, if all levels of a four-level WBS are restricted, for an employee to be able to charge at level 4, he must also be able to access levels 3, 2 and 1. Administrators should consider at which level(s) restrictions and assignments should be made in order to best reflect company business practices.

In Admin, any level of a WBS can be assigned to in two ways. The simplest (and recommended) is to begin at the appropriate WBS level under WBS Setup. Making assignments to any level of the WBS follows the same process.
