Cause
In the project, the Work Description is maintained as required for the project task which is assigned to the employee.
In this case, it is mandatory to maintain the duration when confirming project task.
Resolution
Case 1:
Enter the time period or duration (it should be greater than zero) along with the work description which is mandatory for project time confirmation while recording the time sheet.
Case 2:
For deleting the entries, only remove the duration from the cell in the grid view (work list). It is not necessary to delete the work description.
This would trigger the deletion of the complete time record and leave cell empty. On save, system will not throw an error message.
