Steps

Open Projects and click the project.
Click the task you worked on.
Scroll down to Timesheets. Enter the Hours (for example 3.5) and the Date.
Pick the Employee and add a short Description.
Keep Billable ticked if the client pays for this time, then click Log. The entry joins the list and the total at the top of the section goes up.
Go back to the project. Time & Materials shows the unbilled hours and their value at the project's hourly rate. The Bill Time button turns them into an invoice.

Tip

Untick Billable for internal time, such as training or rework. It still counts as cost in project profitability, but it is not invoiced.

Note

A wrong entry can be removed with Delete on its row in the task's timesheet list.

See whether the project makes money: project profitability.
