Putting Away / Restoring Job Charges

While the Job Recorder page is designed to record the amount of employee time/material usage concurrently while the work is being done, the Job Manager application provides the flexibility of "putting away" the job charges. Putting away job charges while they are being recorded allows the user to close the Job Recorder page and still allow the time to continue to be recorded. Any pending job charges that have been "put away" may be "restored" at a later time.
