Financial Periods and Timesheet Periods in Project Server2007-necessary?

[anovak]

I have MSProjectExpert's very excellent gold book on Administration
and Gary/Dale, I wanted to run this by you for good measure.

If we are not anticipating interfacing with PeopleSoft anytime soon
(if ever), can I skip setting up the Financial Periods (sounds like
your book says you can), and if we decide later on to use EPM with a
3rd party financial package, could this be setup later (vs. "now or
never")? Any other function within EPM that would require this?

Likewise, if we've decide only to use My Tasks and will not touch
timesheets for now, can I skip altogether the Timesheet Periods setup?

Thanks,

Yes, you could skip the setup of Financial Periods for now, and only set
them up later if needed. Hope this helps.

as well?
I suppose I'd want to disable Timesheets in the global permissions?

Yes, you can skip the setup of Timesheet Periods. You can also disable the
Timesheet permissions and you can hide the My Timesheets link in the Quick
Launch menu. Hope this helps.
