More Information
The Personnel Planning module can be used to record the period of time a unit is stored on site. Invoicing for storage should be done using Sales Ledger Regular Invoicing.
The Personnel Planning Diary can be used to log when a customer arrives or leaves site. This allows you to see at a glance what units/customers are on site and how long they have been with you.
Go to " Personnel Planning Diary Entries".
- Click [Add] to add a new diary entry.
- Enter your employee code in the "Person" field (You may wish to create a specific employee code to use for logging unit storage entries against).
- Enter the date the customer comes on to site in the "Date" field.
- Enter the time that the customer has arrived on site in the "Start time" field.
- Enter the customer in the "Account" field.
- In the "Type" field, select a suitable appointment type e.g. 'SIT' - Customer on Site.
- In the "Notes" field, type any relevant notes.
- Click [Done] and <Accept> to save the entry.
- When the customer leaves site, go back into the diary entry and in the "End Time:" enter the time that the customer leaves site.
- Alternatively create the diary entry to span the time they are leaving the unit on site.
