Hi Deb,

I am going to suggest watching the Method Webinars to learn more about customizing Method and then reverse engeinnering the actions on the screen and maybe adding it to the Enter Time button. You also have the option of having us do it for you through paid consulting.

Hi Michael

How do I customize the screen to have it copy the time to QTY?

Hi Deb,

You can customize the screens to have it copy the time to the QTY as soon as you enter it but by default it doesn't. I will bring this up in our weekly Method team meetings as a suggestion to add to Method's standard screens.

Work order Time In/Time Out showing up in Task and Materials

Deb — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:54:44 GMT

I am wondering if I can avoid a step I have been taking to feed over the time total that I calculate under the Time In/Time Out into the Task and Materials listings? Right now after I have entered all the employees time at a specific job site, I have to go back to the Task and Materials tab, find the "labor" entry, click on Details, then under Job Costing click on Act Man hrs for it to populate the qty. Can this not automatically take place without having to do all this extra clicking? It just leaves room for error to do that step and then once billing time comes for the client if I forget to click all these extra steps, where a client should have been billed for say 10 hours of labor they only get billed 1.
