  4. Add Start Date & End Date
    This will determine when the visit and invoice schedules start and end. Typically this will match your season.

Complete Snow Per Inch Visit

Crew

After the crew member completes the Job:

  1. On the Complete Work page, the crew member will drop down the Verify Quantities tab.

  2. Crew member will enter Actual Quantities by adding in the inch range.
    Example: If there was a 5inch snowfall plowed, they would add a 1 by the Plow 3.1-6" Item

  3. When finished, click Complete

Billing

Go through completed Visits/Jobs to confirm all costs and billable Items are correct. Confirm materials, expenses, equipment, labor and service Items have correct quantities, costs and prices.

  1. An Operator or Admin User will need to update the billable quantity for the selected pricing.
    Example: Since my crew added the Actual Quantity of 1 to the Plow 3.1-6" Item, the billing/office team will update the Billable Quantity to 1 so the invoice is reflected accurately.
