Setting
Up Time & Billing
How Do I...
Setting up Sage 50 to use time/expense tickets and bill customers for them is easy.
- First, you need to create Activity items (to be used on Time Tickets); then you need to create Charge items (to be used on expense tickets). These are set up in Maintain Inventory. They describe all of the various activities that employees or contract labor will do in the course of carrying out a project, as well as the expenses they will incur.
- Next, if you plan to pay employees based on time tickets that are entered for them, you will want to create their employee records. Be sure that you specify that they are to be paid based on Time Ticket Hours. In this way, Sage 50 will automatically calculate their hours based on the tickets for them and their pay frequency.
- Last, you will want to set up customer records so that you can bill your customers for the work recorded on time and expense tickets. You can also create jobs so that you can track the costs you incur while carrying out a project.
