The Job Recorder page allows the user to specify a variety of basic job charge information, including the job number to charge, the bill code, the task and quantity to be charged, etc. The job number to which the job charge is applied corresponds to the job number that was established when the job was initially created in the system.
Creating a job charge with the Job Recorder page
- Click the Production tab. The Production Tools page will open.
- Select the Job Recorder link above the page header. The Job Recorder page will open, with a search dialog allowing you to find a Job.
- Type a name, partial name, number, or partial number for a Job and click Go (
). (Leave blank for a list of all open Jobs). A list of possible job matches will appear.
- Select the Job for which you would like to open a Job Recorder. The Job Recorder page will open in a new browser window.
- OPTIONAL: Select the employee, department, and cost center by clicking Change and using the appropriate selectors (
) contained in the drop down menu. By default, the Job Recorder page will automatically display this information based on how the user logged into the system when the application was initially launched. - Click the Task Selector button (
) and select a task. The selected Task will appear in the Task Field.
- For material/miscellaneous item charges, type the quantity you want to charge in the Qty field. The units by which it is measured is displayed next to the Qty field.
- For labor item charges, click START (
) to begin recording time and click END ( 
) to stop recording time. Job Manager will automatically calculate the amount of time spent and display the result in the Qty field.
NOTE: Clicking the Start/End buttons will automatically insert the current time into the Start/End fields. The Job Recorder page is designed to calculate the amount of time used for the task, allowing you to have the page open in the background while performing the work.
- OPTIONAL: Type a note of description for the job charge in the Notes field. Adding notes to your job charges can help clarify any questions that may arise when job charges are being reviewed and reported at a later date or time.
- Click Add (
). This will save the new job charge to the database and reset the Job Recorder page, allowing you to continue recording additional job charges.
At this point, at least one job charge has been added to the Job Manager system. The Job Recorder page has been reset and you can continue to add job charges for the same job or begin charging items to a separate job.
