# What is an Item Code? Where can I enter the Payment / Deduction item Code?

An Item Code is a code created by you to indicate the Payment / Deduction type.
Without the Payment / Deduction item code you cannot import timesheet details.
To import the timesheet details you have to enter the same Payment / Deduction
item code in the timesheet against which you can enter the value.
