Understanding Progress Logs
The progress log is similar to the timesheet in function and process. The service provider contact uses the progress log to record and submit progress on deliverable work orders to the project manager for immediate, online approval. You can also track and report issues using the progress log. The project manager or progress log approver can provide feedback to the service provider, including performance-rating information through the approval process.
Use the Manage Progress Logs page as the focal point for all deliverables-based activity in PeopleSoft Services Procurement. Use this page to:
Create, edit, view, or approve progress logs.
Filter reports by selecting the criteria in the service provider contact, supplier, or status fields.
Access pages used to modify progress log details.
These attributes must be set up before entering progress log information:

Activities defined for rate-based services.
A deliverable - based work order must also be released before progress log transactions can be entered against it.
