===================
|
||||
Track and bill time
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
*Helpdesk* provides teams with the ability to track the amount of hours spent working on a ticket,
|
||||
and to bill a customer for that time. Through integrations with the *Sales*, *Timesheets*,
|
||||
*Project*, and *Accounting* applications, customers can be charged once the work is completed, or
|
||||
before it has even begun.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
Since the *Track & Bill Time* features require integration with other applications, enabling them
|
||||
may result in the installation of additional modules or applications.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing a new application on a *One-App-Free* database triggers a 15-day trial. At the end of
|
||||
the trial, if a paid subscription has not been added to the database, it will no longer be active
|
||||
or accessible.
|
||||
|
||||
Track and bill time features configuration
|
||||
==========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Before a customer can be invoiced for support services, the *Track & Bill Time* features **must** be
|
||||
enabled on each *Helpdesk* team individually.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable track and bill time on a team
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To view and enable the *Track & Bill Time* features on a *Helpdesk* team, first navigate to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Helpdesk app --> Configuration --> Helpdesk Teams`. Then, select a team from the
|
||||
list, or create a :doc:`new Helpdesk team <../overview/getting_started>`. This reveals a team's
|
||||
settings page.
|
||||
|
||||
On the team's settings page, click :guilabel:`Edit`, then scroll to the :guilabel:`Track & Bill
|
||||
Time` section. Tick the boxes labeled :guilabel:`Timesheets` and :guilabel:`Time Billing`.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the :guilabel:`Timesheets` box is checked, a new field appears, labeled :guilabel:`Project`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If this is the first time this feature has been enabled on this database, the page may need to be
|
||||
manually saved and refreshed before the :guilabel:`Project` field appears.
|
||||
|
||||
The project selected in this field represents where all the timesheets for this team's tickets are
|
||||
recorded. Click into the :guilabel:`Project` drop-down menu to select a project.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new project where the timesheets are recorded, click into the :guilabel:`Project`
|
||||
drop-down menu, type a name for the project, and then click :guilabel:`Create` from the drop-down
|
||||
menu beneath.
|
||||
|
||||
Click :guilabel:`Save` at the top-left of the page to save any changes.

Configure service products
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
When the :guilabel:`Time Billing` feature is enabled, a new product is created in the *Sales* app
|
||||
called, *Service on Timesheet*. This product can be found under :menuselection:`Sales app-->
|
||||
Products --> Products`. Then, search for `Service on Timesheet` in the :guilabel:`Search...` bar.
|
||||
This is the product that is used when invoicing for *post-paid support services* **after** they have
|
||||
been completed.
|
||||
|
||||
Select :guilabel:`Service on Timesheet` from the :guilabel:`Products` page. This reveals the product
|
||||
detail form. The product is configured with the :guilabel:`Product Type` set to :guilabel:`Service`,
|
||||
and the :guilabel:`Invoicing Policy` set to :guilabel:`Based on Timesheets`. Click :guilabel:`Edit`
|
||||
to make any necessary changes to the product record, such as the :guilabel:`Cost` or
|
||||
:guilabel:`Sales Price`, then click :guilabel:`Save`.

||||

:align: center
|
||||
:alt: The Service on Timesheet product with emphasis on the invoicing policy field.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to invoice for support services *before* the work has been completed, also known as
|
||||
*prepaid support services*, a separate product with a different invoicing policy must be created.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new service product, go to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Products --> Products`, and
|
||||
click :guilabel:`Create`. This reveals a blank product detail form.
|
||||
|
||||
On the new product form, add a :guilabel:`Product Name`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Try to use a name that identifies the purpose of the product, for example, `Prepaid Services`.
|
||||
This makes it easier when adding it to a sales order later.
|
||||
|
||||
Set the :guilabel:`Product Type` to :guilabel:`Service`. Then, set the :guilabel:`Invoicing Policy`
|
||||
to :guilabel:`Prepaid/Fixed Price`. This means an invoice can be generated and payment can be
|
||||
received for this product, before any timesheet entries have been recorded for these services.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Finally, set the :guilabel:`Sales Price`, and confirm that the :guilabel:`Unit of Measure` is set to
|
||||
:guilabel:`Hours`. Then, click :guilabel:`Save` to save those configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
Invoice prepaid support services
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
When support services are billed on a fixed price, an invoice can be created before any work is
|
||||
completed on the issue. In this case, a service product with the *Invoicing Policy* set to
|
||||
*Prepaid/Fixed Price* would be used, just like the one created in the :ref:`Configure service
|
||||
products <helpdesk/configure-service-products>` section.
|
||||
|
||||
Create prepaid product sales order
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To invoice a customer for prepaid support services, first create a sales order (SO) with the support
|
||||
services product. To do this, go to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Orders --> Quotations`. Then,
|
||||
click :guilabel:`Create` to reveal a blank quotation form.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, fill out the quotation form with the customer information.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to the :guilabel:`Order Lines` tab of the quotation, and click :guilabel:`Add a Product`. Then,
|
||||
select the *prepaid services product* configured in the steps :ref:`above
|
||||
<helpdesk/configure-service-products>`. Update the :guilabel:`Quantity` field with the number of
|
||||
hours.
|
||||
|
||||
After updating any other necessary information, :guilabel:`Confirm` the quotation. This converts the
|
||||
quotation into a :abbr:`SO (sales order)`.
|
||||
|
||||
Create/send invoice for prepaid services
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Once the :abbr:`SO (sales order)` has been confirmed, click the :guilabel:`Create Invoice` button on
|
||||
the sales order form. This opens a :guilabel:`Create invoices` pop-up window.
|
||||
|
||||
If no down payment is collected, the :guilabel:`Create Invoice` type can remain as
|
||||
:guilabel:`Regular invoice`. If a :doc:`down payment <../../../sales/sales/invoicing/down_payment>`
|
||||
is collected, choose between either :guilabel:`Down payment (percentage)` or :guilabel:`Down payment
|
||||
(fixed amount)`.
|
||||
|
||||
When the necessary information has been entered, click :guilabel:`Create and View Invoice` or
|
||||
:guilabel:`Create Invoice`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Invoices are created in draft mode, so they can be reviewed and edited, if necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
The invoice can then be :doc:`sent to the customer <../../../finance/accounting/customer_invoices>`
|
||||
for payment.
|
||||
|
||||
Create helpdesk ticket for prepaid services
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To create a *Helpdesk* ticket for prepaid services, navigate to :menuselection:`Helpdesk app`, and
|
||||
click the :guilabel:`Tickets` button on the desired team's card, to reveal that specific team's
|
||||
pipeline. Click :guilabel:`Create` to create a new ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
On the blank ticket form, enter a ticket :guilabel:`Title` and the :guilabel:`Customer`
|
||||
information.
|
||||
|
||||
When the customer name is added, the :guilabel:`Sales Order Item` field automatically populates with
|
||||
the most recent prepaid sales order item that has time remaining.
|
||||
|
||||
If a customer has more than one sales order item with remaining time, click the :guilabel:`Sales
|
||||
Order Item` field, and select the correct item from the drop-down list.
|
||||
|
||||
After entering all of the necessary information, click :guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
|
||||
Track hours on helpdesk ticket
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Time spent working on a *Helpdesk* ticket is tracked on the *Timesheets* tab on the specific ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
On the ticket detail form, click on the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab, and click :guilabel:`Add a
|
||||
line`. Choose an :guilabel:`Employee`, add a :guilabel:`Description` of the task, and enter the
|
||||
number of :guilabel:`Hours Spent` working on the task.
|
||||
|
||||
As new lines are added to :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab, the :guilabel:`Remaining Hours on SO` field,
|
||||
at the bottom-right of the tab, is automatically updated.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: track_and_bill/track-bill-remaining-hours-total.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: The timesheets tab of a Helpdesk ticket keeping track of the number of hours remaining on a
|
||||
sales order.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If the number of hours on the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab exceeds the number of hours sold, the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Remaining Hours of SO` turns red.
|
||||
|
||||
As hours are added to the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab, they are automatically updated in the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Delivered` field on the :abbr:`SO (sales order)`, as well.
|
||||
|
||||
Invoice post-paid support services
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
When support services are billed based on the amount of time spent on an issue, an invoice
|
||||
**cannot** be created before the total number of hours required to solve the problem have been
|
||||
entered on a timesheet. In this case, a service product with the *Invoicing Policy* set to *Based on
|
||||
Timesheets* would be used, like the one created :ref:`above <helpdesk/configure-service-products>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Create time-tracked product sales order
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To invoice a customer for post-paid support services, first create a sales order (SO) with the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Service on Timesheet` product. To do this, go to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Orders
|
||||
--> Quotations`. Then, click :guilabel:`Create` to reveal a blank quotation form.
|
||||
|
||||
Fill out the quotation with the customer information.
|
||||
|
||||
On the :guilabel:`Order Lines` tab, click :guilabel:`Add a Product`. Select the :guilabel:`Service
|
||||
on Timesheet` product configured :ref:`above <helpdesk/configure-service-products>`. After updating
|
||||
any other necessary information, :guilabel:`Confirm` the quotation.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Unlike with the prepaid service quotations, Odoo does **not** allow an invoice to be created at
|
||||
this time. That is because no services have been performed; in other words, nothing has been
|
||||
delivered, therefore, there is nothing to invoice.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a helpdesk ticket for time-tracked services
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To record a *Timesheet* entry for time-tracked services, go to the :menuselection:`Helpdesk app`,
|
||||
and select the appropriate team for which these services apply.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is already an existing ticket for this issue, select it from the Kanban view to open it. If
|
||||
there is no existing ticket for this customer issue, click :guilabel:`Create` to create a new
|
||||
ticket, and enter the necessary customer information on the blank ticket detail form.
|
||||
|
||||
After selecting or creating a ticket, go to the :guilabel:`Sales Order Item` drop-down menu. Select
|
||||
the :abbr:`SO (sales order)` created in the previous step.
|
||||
|
||||
Track support hours on a ticket
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to create an invoice for a product based on timesheets, hours need to be tracked and
|
||||
recorded. At this point, the service is considered *delivered*. To record hours for this support
|
||||
service, click on the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab of the ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
Click :guilabel:`Add a Line` to record a new entry. Select an :guilabel:`Employee` from the
|
||||
drop-down menu, and record the time spent in the :guilabel:`Hours Spent` column.
|
||||
|
||||
Repeat these steps, as needed, until all time spent on the issues has been recorded. Then, click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
|
||||
Create invoice for hours tracked on a ticket
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
After the customer's issue has been solved, and it is determined no new timesheet entries need to be
|
||||
made, an invoice can be created, and the customer can be billed.
|
||||
|
||||
To do this, return to the :abbr:`SO (sales order)` by clicking on the :guilabel:`Sales Order` smart
|
||||
button at the top of the ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
Before creating the invoice, confirm that the number in the :guilabel:`Delivered` column matches the
|
||||
total number of :guilabel:`Hours Spent` listed in the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab on the ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, click :guilabel:`Create Invoice`. This opens a :guilabel:`Create invoices` pop-up window.
|
||||
|
||||
If no down payment is collected, the :guilabel:`Create Invoice` type can remain as
|
||||
:guilabel:`Regular invoice`. If a down payment is collected, choose between either :guilabel:`Down
|
||||
payment (percentage)` or :guilabel:`Down payment (fixed amount)`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Use the :guilabel:`Timesheets Period` field if this invoice should **only** include timesheets
|
||||
from a certain time period. If this field is left blank, **all** applicable timesheets that have
|
||||
not yet been invoiced will be included.
|
||||
|
||||
When the necessary information has been entered, click :guilabel:`Create and View Invoice` or
|
||||
:guilabel:`Create Invoice`. The invoice can then be :doc:`sent to the customer
|
||||
<../../../finance/accounting/customer_invoices>` for payment.

Invoice Time Spent on Tickets (Prepaid Support Services)
|
||||
========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Have the option to work with prepaid support services, meaning that a sales order and a
|
||||
corresponding invoice are issued and, once the service is done, you can deduct the time spent. Odoo
|
||||
allows it to happen because the applications are fully integrated, resulting in faster responses
|
||||
to your customer needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Set up
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Step 1: Set up a helpdesk team
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
| Go to :menuselection:`Helpdesk --> Configuration --> Helpdesk Teams`, create or edit an existing
|
||||
team, and enable *Timesheet on Ticket* and *Time Reinvoicing*.
|
||||
| Select or create a project under *Timesheet on Ticket*. The selected/created is
|
||||
the one at which employees timesheet on by default. However, it can be ultimately modified on
|
||||
each ticket.

|
||||
|
||||
Step 2: Set up a service
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
| Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings` and enable *Units of Measure* to
|
||||
optionally be able to choose *hours* (for example) as the unit of measure of your service.
|
||||
| Then, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Products --> Products`, create or edit an existing one, and
|
||||
set its *Product Type* as *Service*.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: View of a product's form emphasizing the product type and unit of measure fields in Odoo
|
||||
Sales
|
||||
|
||||
Now, select the invoicing management you would like to have under the *Sales* tab. We recommend the
|
||||
following configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: invoice_time/product_invoicing.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: View of a product form and the invoicing options under the tab sales in Odoo Sales
|
||||
|
||||
This configuration ensures that the customer is invoiced by the number of hours predicted in the
|
||||
sales order, meaning that less or extra hours recorded are not taken into account. It also ensures
|
||||
that every time a sales order is confirmed, a new task is created under the right project,
|
||||
automating the process.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
We recommend setting up a specific project, as it was done for this flow example. The important
|
||||
thing to remember is that the sales order item needs to be set on the corresponding project or
|
||||
task, in order to reinvoice the time spent on a ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
Prevision an invoice and record time
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
Step 1: Place an order
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Orders --> Orders` and create one for the helpdesk service product
|
||||
you have previously set up, with the customer who needs the ticket to be opened. Set the number of
|
||||
hours needed to assist the customer and *Confirm* the order.

||||

Step 2: Invoice the customer

In *Sales*, select the respective sales order to *Create Invoice*.

Step 3: Link the task to the ticket
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now, in *Helpdesk*, create or edit the respective ticket and link it to the task created by the
|
||||
confirmation of the sales order.

Invoice Time Spent on Tickets (Postpaid Support Services)

=========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Timesheets` integration provides more control and transparency over how clients are
|
||||
charged, and what they're specifically billed for.
|
||||
|
||||
In Odoo, the Helpdesk agent can use the ticket to record timesheets. Once a ticket is solved, the
|
||||
client can be billed for the time spent on the ticket. Odoo will pull from the ticket's timesheet
|
||||
to accurately bill the client.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
To turn on the :guilabel:`Timesheets` feature, go to :menuselection:`Helpdesk --> Configuration
|
||||
--> Helpdesk Teams`, select a Helpdesk team, and then, click :guilabel:`Edit`. Next, enable the
|
||||
options :guilabel:`Timesheets` and :guilabel:`Time Billing`. Then, click :guilabel:`Save` to apply
|
||||
these changes to the Helpdesk team settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the :guilabel:`Timesheets` feature is enabled, a :guilabel:`Project` drop-down option will
|
||||
appear below :guilabel:`Timesheets`. The :guilabel:`Project` drop-down option will automatically
|
||||
be set to a project that Odoo created for the Helpdesk team. The tickets' timesheets
|
||||
will be stored in the selected project.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a sales order
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
After a ticket comes into the pipeline, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Create`. Then, add the
|
||||
customer from the ticket to the :guilabel:`Customer` field in the new quotation. In the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Order Lines` tab, create or select a product to charge the customer for the time spent
|
||||
on their Helpdesk ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
If creating a new product from the sales order form, first give the product a name by typing it in
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Product` column. Then, click :guilabel:`Create and edit`.
|
||||
|
||||
First, in the :guilabel:`General Information` tab, set the :guilabel:`Product Type` to
|
||||
:guilabel:`Service` and the :guilabel:`Sales Price` to the Helpdesk agent's service rate. Then, set
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Invoicing Policy` to :guilabel:`Based on Timesheets`. Finally, click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Save` to create the new product and add it to the quotation.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the product is added, click :guilabel:`Confirm` to turn the quotation into a sales order.

Record a timesheet
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
To record a timesheet, jump back to the Helpdesk ticket by going to the :guilabel:`Helpdesk`
|
||||
dashboard, clicking :guilabel:`Tickets` on the team's card, and locating the correct ticket. Then,
|
||||
click :guilabel:`Edit` and use the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab to record the time spent on the
|
||||
ticket.

:alt: Record time spent on a ticket.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
The ticket's timesheets can be recorded before or after the sales order is made, the order
|
||||
doesn't matter.
|
||||
|
||||
Link the Helpdesk ticket to the SO
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
To link the :guilabel:`Sales Order` to the ticket, start on the ticket form and click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Edit`. Next, select the :guilabel:`Sales Order` that was created earlier from the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Sales Order Item` drop-down menu. Odoo will automatically filter the options to only
|
||||
show sales orders that are connected to the ticket's customer. Lastly, click :guilabel:`Save` to
|
||||
connect the ticket and the :guilabel:`Sales Order Item`.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Sales Order Item` can be connected to the ticket before or after any timesheets
|
||||
are recorded, the order doesn't matter.
|
||||
|
||||
Modify billing rates
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
If a timesheet entry is recorded, but the agent does not want to bill the client for that time, go
|
||||
to the :guilabel:`Timesheets` tab and toggle on the visibility of the :guilabel:`Sales Order Item`
|
||||
column. When filling out the information for the timesheet entry, make sure to leave the
|
||||
non-billable timesheet entry's :guilabel:`Sales Order Item` field blank.
|
||||
|
||||
If the agent wants to charge a different rate for a timesheet entry, first, add a new product to
|
||||
the connected :abbr:`SO (Sales Order)` priced at the new rate. Then, select the new product in the
|
||||
timesheet entry's :guilabel:`Sales Order Item` field.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the invoice
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
When the Helpdesk ticket is completed and the client is ready to be billed for time, begin by
|
||||
clicking the :guilabel:`Sales Order` smart button on the ticket form to navigate to the sales
|
||||
order. The :guilabel:`Delivered` column should match the number of hours recorded on the ticket's
|
||||
timesheet. After checking and filling out the relevant information, click :guilabel:`Create
|
||||
Invoice` to bill the client for the time spent on the ticket. Odoo will automatically generate an
|
||||
invoice to send to the client and the Helpdesk ticket can officially be closed.
