The Enter Scheduled Hours task is a process where you manually enter scheduled hours into LMS. Scheduled hours that are not automatically generated by the system must be entered into the system if you plan to generate and use certain reports. If you selected Auto-Calculate Costs in System Setup > Shift Categories and you want to apply that functionality here, you must select the configured Shift Category so costs will be auto-calculated.
