Work with Sub-tasks

Being a dynamic and organized company is important as it also helps you to not overload your employees. For that, split large tasks into smaller ones by creating subs-tasks, timesheet on them, and have an overview of all hours recorded.

Configuration

Go to Project ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings ‣ Sub-tasks.

Enable the feature under settings in Odoo Project

From now on, a Sub-tasks menu is available within your task.

By default, sub-tasks are created under the same project. However, you can select another one by going to Project ‣ Configuration ‣ Projects ‣ Sub-task Project.

Timesheet on sub-tasks

Make sure the feature Timesheets is enabled under Project ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings and under the settings of the needed Project. Now you are able to timesheet on your tasks and sub-tasks. The time recorded on a sub-task is counted on the parent task.
