Navigation:  Main Menu > Technician Time Transactions

Technician Time Transactions allows each technician to log on and off of service item entries.  Transactions entered here can be used to calculate billing hours for labor lines in service order data entry.

Service Order - Enter or select the service order that you are working on.  It may be a good idea to print bar codes on the order form so that each technician can quickly scan the order number into this screen.

Entry No - Enter or select the service item entry number that you are working on.  A bar coded entry number on the order form is a good idea to speed data entry.

Status - DISPLAY ONLY - This shows the current status of the service item entry that was selected.

Assigned Technician - DISPLAY ONLY - This shows the technician assigned to the service item entry.

Start Date / Time - Enter the starting date and time for the work being done.  For a new entry, this will default to the current date and time.

End Date / Time - Enter the ending date and time.  For a new entry the end date and time will be blank and can be left blank.  If the technician has already created a transaction with a start date and no end date, that same transaction record will be pulled up and the end date and time will be filled in.

Charge Code - Enter the labor miscellaneous item code that should be used for this time transaction.  This is for the user's benefit only.  In service order entry the user must create a labor line before selecting time transactions.

Comment - Enter a comment about the work that was done.  When time transactions are used to calculate time in service order data entry, the comments for the time transactions selected will be commented and put in the line comment code.
