What QuickBooks Pro 5 Timer Does
QuickBooks Pro 5 Timer operates in conjunction with QuickBooks Pro 5, to collect time worked by XE
"Timer:QuickBooks Pro 5" employees
or vendors, as a source for paying the
employee, and/or billing a customer. It
can run on any or all of the (Windows)
computers in an office, including the
computer running QuickBooks. This is
done by transferring data files between
QuickBooks and Timer. Timer can be used like
a stop watch, actually counting off the time
recorded, as a timesheet taking entry of time
worked, or as a combination of the
two.
QuickBooks exports a
listing of customer:jobs, vendors, employees,
service items, and classes (if used) to
Timer. Timer loads this into its user
data file XE "user data file:Timer" XE "data file:Timer" .
Time activity records are then generated on Timer, by collecting the following information: {
Barbara: don’t shoot ... these are
not bullets. Meaning of * is explained
below }
* Date when the hours were worked
* Who worked the hours (vendor XE "vendor" or employee XE "employee:timer" )
* Customer XE "customer:Timer" billable for this time (if any)
* Service item XE "service item:Timer" for billing
* Class (if used)
Hours and minutes worked
Notes
Change of any * field constitutes a new “activity”.
Note that this list does
not include payroll items. If used for
payroll, this will have to be supplied in
QuickBooks when the activities are imported.
The activity records XE "activity records:Timer" are periodically (usually weekly) collected into files, which are transferred from the Timer to QuickBooks Pro 5. These imported records are identical to activity records generated within the time tracking function of QuickBooks Pro, and can be used for billing and payroll in the same manner.
