Duration
(Time Tickets)
How Do I...
This field displays the duration, or length of time, of the activity.
- If you selected Enter Time, simply enter a length of time that the activity was performed for. Duration amounts are entered using the HOUR:MINUTES format (for
example, 1:30).
- If you selected Calculate
Time, you can enter a start time, end time, and break
to have Sage 50 calculate the duration. You cannot enter an amount in
the Duration field while this
option is selected.
- If you selected the Start Timer
button to begin timing the activity, time is displayed in the Duration
field in second intervals. Selecting the Stop Timer
button will stop recording time for the activity. If you select the Start Timer button once again, the clock
resumes running in the Duration
field.
The duration is converted to a unit duration, which is used to calculate
the total billing amount for this activity item (unless the billing status
is no-charge).
Note: A ticket duration
can span two days, but it cannot exceed more than 23 hours and 59 minutes.
Also, time-ticket duration must be a positive amount before saving time
tickets. You cannot create a negative time ticket.
