If you bill your customer for time spent on a project or service for them, you can use WorkingPoint to help you track the time spend. By tracking your time in WorkingPoint, you can track your time accurately and bill for the time spent with just a few clicks. Let me explain how it works.
To track time in WorkingPoint, the first thing you will do is create a time tracking item. The time tracking item stores the information that is required to invoice for the time, including the name of the project, the description of the work being done and the rate you are billing for your time per hour. You also select the bookkeeping account you want to use to track the sale of your time once you use the item on an invoice. These special time tracking items are stored in the Time Tracking List. To get to the Time Tracking List, you can click Items on the main navigation menu.
After you create the time tracking item, you add your time to the item by creating time entries using the timer. A timer is available in each time tracking item. To track time, simply click Start when you begin your task and Stop when you are finished. Once you click Stop, a timer entry is recorded in the item. You can create multiple timer entries on a single time tracking item and WorkingPoint will add up all the time you spent on the project/service.
Once you are finished with the project/service, you can add the item to your invoice just like any other item. Simple start typing in the name of the time tracking item and the total duration of the project will be entered on your invoice at the rate specified in the item and the sale will be recorded in the bookkeeping account you chose.
Note: Once you invoice for a time tracking item, you cannot edit or delete the item.
