How should vendor time entries be handled to avoid duplicate time?

When a vendor submits time entries outside of BQE CORE, you should not manually enter those time entries. Instead, wait until the vendor invoice is received and then create a vendor bill in CORE. If the related vendor time entries already exist and have been approved, CORE prompts you to link the associated time entries to the vendor bill. Linking the time entries ensures they are accounted for correctly and prevents duplicate time from being recorded in CORE.
