Time Recording
In any business, one of the most unpredictable costs to budget for is the time element. The Intact 'Time Recording' module is one of the most comprehensive and wide ranging modules of its kind in any accounts software package. It is tightly integrated with the 'Job Costing' module where necessary and can be used effectively as a time billing package for businesses whose key product is time.
Setting up Staff Members
When setting up the different staff members on the system, they are given a 'User ID' and 'Password' that they can use to enter their own time sheets on the system. User access restrictions can be set so that certain users are set up to enter time sheets only. They can be assigned to particular 'Work Types' and 'Departments' and up to five different cost and charge rates.
Key Features
- Each Stock Item can be identified as a 'Finished Good', 'Raw Material', 'Manufactured Part', 'Service Item'.
- Multi Level BOM’s can be set up for each item with associated costings being updated.
- Costs can be viewed by 'Stock Category' and 'Labour' elements.

Time Sheet Entry
Having logged onto the system with a 'User ID' and 'Password', the individual users can enter in their time sheets. Each line allows the user to enter the day, customer, work type, duration, rate, any notes, indicate if it was productive or otherwise and to assign it to a particular job code.
These are all collated and collected into the 'Time Sheet Daybook' which the 'System Administrator' can view and report on.
Time Billing
Once all the time sheets are entered, it is possible to convert these into invoices for certain customers. When viewing the customer ledger card, the U/B time (Unbilled Time) is displayed in the bottom right hand corner. A report can be produced showing the total unbilled time by customer.
Time billing is an integral part of many businesses including accountancy, consultancy, service etc.
