===== 6. Book Activities (Projects/Service Calls/Financial Projects/Cost Centers) =====

Activities can be booked during ongoing working time.

Procedure

  - Start working time (''Kommen'' or ''Dienstreise''; e.g., Clock in / Business trip)
  - Select ''+ Activity''
  - Choose an activity (e.g., project, service call, financial project, cost center)
  - The active booking appears in the digital time clock
  - End the activity via ''Project end''
  - Breaks can still be booked as usual
  - Activities are transferred from SAP Business One (they are not created in COBI.time)
  - Use the search to find the right activity more quickly

Note: If no activities are displayed, permissions are usually missing or no objects are assigned. \\
Activity booking is not always enabled by default and is controlled via settings/permissions. \\
