Re: Can a part be removed fron inventory without being on an invoice?

You got my curiosity. At the risk of being overly negative and/or critical, what is the reason you do not want to show the oil used on an invoice?

Re: Import Time

SO what you are saying then is that I need to take the actual hours and put it up in the charged hours? It appears that this step is what I am missing. I had somehow naively assumed that the time clock would automatically place the actual hours in the charged hours. If that is the case, then moving ...

Re: Import Time

Apparently there is a setting I have missed because, ok, I just completed a job taking .49 hr. I had hoped (as an experiment) that when I mark the job as completed it would update the actual time on the RO in the WIP screen but it did not.

Import Time

How do I export the technician's time to the RO? Say a tech worked on Joe's car for 1.45 hrs. Is there a way I can export that info to the R?O without manually having to do so?

Re: Finding a posted invoice

What I have done already is go into the "Find Customer" using the F3 button. Typically I find what I am looking for and what I have seen is that a date or some other piece of relevant info has gotten changed.

Re: CATEGORY SEARCH

This appears to be a relatively new addition to the reports list. I have been hoping for quite sometime now to be able to do something along this line. I will explore this development and see if it will provide me with the link to an invoice that I look for. Many thanks & Kudos to you and the Mitche...

Close, but I would like to know how many jobs were done and who for that category
I would also like to be able to do the same. Say oil changes. Who all did I do that for in a given time period. And, it would be super if I could simply click on a name or line and go directly to that invoice.

Thanks, I just tried this again and this is what I got, so having to go into the system to update is going to be a bear.
That is the same message I get even today yet when I try to change an inventory part that is in use on an existing order. Maybe there is a setting I need to change.

Re: Inventory Part number changes

Did it recently change? Because in the past, it would not let me make a change on an inventory item that was on an open invoice. I must admit that this is a right good development though.

Re: Inventory Part number changes

Here in our shop, I face the same thing. Beings I am a prior Quick Books user, I find the delay in renaming or even changing the price on an inventory item a serious challenge to my patience. It is exceedingly frustrating to me. I am thinking that it may tell you which invoice that item is on so, wh...

Yes, you can change the dollar amounts.
So are you saying I can change the "From" dollar "To" dollar amount? I tried it and obviously I don't know much about this so if you could, please provide details as to how I can make this happen.

Thanks for the help!

Parts Matrix

Ok, so I want to set up the parts price matrix different than the numbers given in the settings menu. Can I change the dollar amounts in the left 2 columns? Say I want to have a category of part cost to the customer of 1.00 to 20.00 as a category, the next category of 20.01 to 74.99. The next catego...

Ya know, I am wondering if the powers that be are not trying to ask the system to be able to do too much. And, we as older technicians fail to appreciate the technology like the younger ones do.

Ok, so after a number of weeks of functioning well, this morning I opened my work station only to see that, once again, the columns are all back and totally scattered. I am very disgusted to say the least. At my age and with the duties I have here, I do not need this kind of frustration in my schedu...

Label Printer From Multiple Stations

Ok, I am trying to get set up so we can print labels here in our shop. Shipping labels, oil change labels, etc. My question is "Can I have just one printer but be able to print from more than 1 work station. Or, must I have a printer for every work station"?
