Module 7 Time Recording and Activity Monitoring Menu, on the Main Menu is used to record actual time spent auditing. The first step is to record the reporting periods.
Select menu item 4, 7.4 Define Report Periods, and add a report period of 01/01/90 to 01/31/90. Do this for each of DIV1 and DIV2 in turn.
We are now ready to enter actual time worked. We will use weekly time-reporting periods for Example Inc., so we first enter all the time worked in the first week of January, print reports, and then run Period-End to start the next reporting period.
Select menu item 1, 7.1 Direct Time Reporting (Using Timesheet), select DIV1 as input, and enter the data shown in Figure 18. Use the QUIT command when you are done.

The work for the first week of January has been recorded in AMP. We can now print reports showing planned versus actual data.
Select menu item 3, 7.3 Time Reporting and Activity Monitoring Reports. There are a number of reports available in this menu. For example, we could select menu item 2, 7.3.2 Print Audit Work Detail Report, tagging both DIV1 and DIV2 as input, and specifying a selection criterion of 14 (Period-to-Date Hours) > 0 to print all records which had some time recorded for them during the current period.
This brings us to the end of this tutorial. We have skipped some sections of AMP in the interest of reducing the time requirements of the tutorial. We encourage you to explore the other features and experiment, perhaps by applying AMP to your own data.
