Field Service: Workflows: Timesheets + Timesheet Timer

Process

To get started, navigate to the Field Service app.

Once there, go to My Tasks > Tasks. This brings you to a kanban view of your tasks planned for today or the future. Columns are organized by date.

Click a task card from this view that requires a timed entry.

Timesheet Timer

If the Timer is enabled through app settings as well as project settings, you'll see a  Start button on the top of your field service tasks.

Click  Start. You will then see options to   stop and pause, as well as a timer.

If you pause a task, the Pause option will change to resume, and you can continue your work on it.

You will also have the option to  STOP the timer when your work is done.

Click   STOP  to indicate your work is complete. This brings up a modal window where you'll verify the time spent, and add a description. Note that the time will round according to your Timesheet settings. When you're ready, save the timesheet entry.

From the task, click the Timesheets tab to see your new entry.

If you need to add more time to the task, simply click the   Start button again.

Manual Timesheet Entries

You can add time manually to a Field Service by first opening the task, navigating to the Timesheets tab, and clicking Add a Line.

This will open a new line where you'll ensure the following fields are complete:

• Date: This will auto-populate to today's date; adjust if needed.

• Employee: This will auto-populate with your name. 

• Description: Enter a short description for the work completed for this time entry.

• Duration: Enter the time spent in hours and minutes (e.g., 1:45) or as a decimal (e.g., 1.75). Odoo will not round manually-entered time, so follow your company's policies on rounding.

After each entry has been added, the Hours Spent, Progress, and Remaining Hours fields will update, based on the Initially Planned Hours.

Click save when you're done.
