Time Billing Command Centre

Flowchart Options in this window:

Activities List

The Activities List option opens the Activities List window, where you can view the activities you've set up in the MYOB Accounting Plus system.

From the Activities List window, you can open another window that allows you to specify detailed information about your company's activities or create new activities.

In this documentation, an activity is a task or service provided by your company for which you can bill your customers on time billing invoices and track history.

Enter Activity Slip

The Enter Activity Slip option opens the Enter Activity Slip window, where you can enter the records of when your company performs activities.

In this documentation, an activity slip is the record of having performed an activity. To bill your customers for the time you spend performing activities and to print accurate time billing reports, you should enter an activity slip for each activity you perform. The information you enter on activity slips will be used to prepare time billing invoices.

Activity Log

The Activity Log option opens the View Activity Log window, where you can view a list of activity slips recorded for an employee or supplier within a specific date range.

Prepare Time Billing Invoice

The Prepare Time Billing Invoice option opens the Time Billing Customers window. Using this window, you can select the customer whose time billing invoice you want to prepare using the Prepare Time Billing Invoice window.

Transaction Journal

The Transaction Journal option allows you to open the Transaction Journal window, where you can view information about all transactions you've entered in the MYOB Accounting Plus system, for all journals. From the Transaction Journal window, you can also "zoom" to the original window in which transactions (except stock transactions) were entered.
