4. Excel Add-in may throw error "No time agreement exists for employee".

The error you are experiencing is related to authorization reasons. It seems that the upload is being performed by an internal employee.

To record times for other employees, a Project Manager typically requires authorization as a 'Time Administrator' or as a 'Line Manager of the employee(s)'. Currently, the option to upload project time recordings via Excel is supported for external employees (Service Agents). However, it can also be used for internal employees, but only by the user who has the authorization for the Work Center "Time Administration". To facilitate this process, you can assign the "Project Management" Work Center to a time administrator and request them to perform the Excel upload. Alternatively, if you have the Time Administrator authorization, you can also carry out the upload.
