User has previously used EngineerOffice and wants to account for all time against budgets, regardless of its approval status. With this, the user will be able to see the actual amount against the budget. This was a feature in EngineerOffice, but what about BQE CORE.
In CORE, approved as well as unapproved time is counted against budgets. To see the time spent on budgets, go into the project details from the Projects screen and open the Budget tab. You can find the time spent under the 'Spent' columns there.
