New page

On Mobile Tech, there are two ways the Timer on Service and Install Orders will update the order in SME.

== First Option: Timer adds "Actual Time" to labor in SME ==
This option is the default setting for new installations of Mobile Tech. With this option the time tracked with the timer adds Actual Hours to Labor items.
 For example, you might schedule a tech on dispatch in SME which adds a labor item and the "scheduled qty" is filled out on the labor. The labor has a service item on it.

 When the tech opens the service order in Mobile Tech, they can click TimeIn/Out.

 [[File:MobileTechTimer2.png]]

 In the TimeIn/Out window, they can choose a service item and click start. when done click stop
 If the service item and date on timer-time match the already scheduled labor in SME, then the Time Tracking Actual time will be tied to the scheduled labor item.

 [[File:MobileTechTimer3.png]]

 You will see the time details by going to the order
 Opening the labor item you scheduled
 Look in lower right corner for the "actual time" section for a total of actual time

 [[File:MobileTechTimer4.png]]

 To get the details on the actual time, click the Time Tracker tab at the top of the labor item. There could be more than one entry for that day on the Time Tracker tab (time in/ out for morning, lunch, then time in/out again adding a second entry)

 [[File:MobileTechTimer5.png]]

 If the tech uses the timer on Mobile Tech to timeIn/Out and there isn't a matching labor item for date / service item already, it will add a labor item. The scheduled Qty will be 0 on the labor item and it will just show the actual time and Time Tracker tab details.

<h3>Billing Customer for Actual Time on Labor</h3>
If you need to bill the customer for the actual time, you can setup a Billing Status that puts the Actual Hours into the Billable Qty field
 - Go to Setup > Company > Lists
 - Select Billing Status and click New in lower right corner
 - Enter a name such as "Actual Time" and check "Set Billable Hours to Actual Hours"
 - the on the Labor Item, can choose Actual Time in Billing Status (image below). When you click OK on the labor the Billing Qty will populate with the Actual hours.

 [[File:MobileTechTimer7.png]]

== Second Option: Timer always adds a new Labor Item for time tracked on timer ==
If you want this option, you have to tell High 5 Software Tech Support (support@hsw.com) and we will change your setting.

 This option would works like this:
 > Tech opens order in mobile tech and click TimeIn and starts the timer.
 > End the timer
 > A labor item is added in SME and the time tracked is added to the "scheduled qty" on the labor. nothing is recorded in TimeTracker or Actual time
 > If a tech logs in/out two times in one day, it would add two separate labor items with the "scheduled qty" field reflecting the timer time for each session.

If the button is hidden, see your administrator to edit your preferences. This allows your technicians to track how long they are working on specific orders or to track travel time to and from a job site.
