Timesheets
The Timesheets option listed within the Job Management module options is used for entering Bulk Job Timesheets. Timesheets are entered into a batch for all Installers and all Jobs then the batch is posted to the Jobs at one time. A Timesheet batch may be for a single day, a work week or a pay period; this depends on what your company finds the most practical to use. Just keep in mind, if Bulk Timesheets are used and are not entered on a daily basis, your Jobs will not reflect actual Labor Costs until the Timesheets are entered and saved. If a Job is going over budget on hours/dollars, you may not realize this until days or weeks later.
Your company may create Timesheet batches that are for a pay period or week; a User may open the batch daily and add to the entries until the batch is completed. Using this process will provide the most current Labor information when viewing any Job that is in progress.
The Labor costs that are applied to Jobs are determined by the rates set up for your Installers in SedonaSetup (Installers setup table). The labor rate entered in the Installer setup may be the same burdened labor rate that is used when preparing customer quotes or the actual labor rate the Installer is paid. If using the Installer actual labor rate, your company has the option of applying Overhead dollars to the Job when timesheets are posted. See the Overhead topic for more information on how to use this function in your Job Costing.
If your company is using Payroll Timesheets, Bulk Timesheets would never be used.
