Labor Time

The Sales Order Labor Time report provides a quick snapshot of the time sold versus the time used on sales orders. This report is a helpful tool for forecasting the technicians’ time needed to complete the sold work. Note: Click on a sales order to open it in a new window.

Available information includes:

• Ref # – the sales order name and number. If you summarize the report by Customer, you’ll see the total time needed to complete open sales orders for a particular customer.
• Hours – this is the total number of hours sold on sales orders
• Hrs Used – the total of all time already completed on each sales order
• Used Pct – this percentage quickly indicates how much work is left to do. If the number is larger than 100%, you’ll know your team has worked more hours on the job than has been sold to the customer.
• Hrs Rem. – how many unused hours are left on the job?
