# Create project time entry

>Note: When creating time entries, a valid user_id, assignable_id, date and hours must be supplied. Assignable ID can be assignable_id, project_id or leave_type_id.

You can optionally specify values for task and notes, which must be fewer than 256 characters in length. If you know a valid bill_rate_id matching the user and project of the time entry, you can specify that at the time of creating a time entry as well.
