Time Entries

When we enter time into the time tracking system, the product/service field shows "Service" even though we have selected a proper service code for the entry. "Service" usually appears when a code is not entered. We have tried clearing cache and cookies. Can not enter the correct service code. I need accurate service codes to run reports by product/service code. Any advice?

Thanks for informing us beforehand that you've already taken some steps to address the issue, Accountant2020.

 

To ensure that we're on the right track, can you let us know how you're currently tracking time, whether through QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Time? Additionally, can you provide us with details on how the codes are being set up?

 

If you're doing it in QBO, please know that the Service field will let you choose the service items that are listed in your Products and services section. Make sure the codes are added as service items by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Products and services.
  2. Click New and choose Service.
  3. Enter all other details.
  4. Click Save and close.

 

If the time entries are being recorded in QuickBooks Time, I'd recommend reaching out to our support team. They'll take a look at your time entries in detail to identify why you are having difficulties selecting the appropriate codes.

 

Here's an article on how to reach out to them: Contact QuickBooks Time Support.

 

Let me also share these articles for additional resources when tracking hours in the program:

We are using time tracking in Quick Books online.

We are trying to select product/service codes that are in the dropdown menu. It is really becoming a problem for our employees to enter their time.

Thanks for your help.
