Manage Punches

 

Utilize the Manage Punches screen to update and approve time for crew logging time through MSCrew. Access to this screen is through the Mobile Crew Time option available through the Accounting Tools Menu and from within the Local Dispatch.

This screen remains open as you work in MoversSuite. So, if you are working within the Dispatch Center grid and select a service with different crew, the application updates the listing with screen automatically.

 

NOTE: The functionality of the Mobile Crew Time screen is also available through the MSCrew Crew Time website.

 

Manage Punches opens a Mobile Crew Time screen where you can see and update the punches entered by the on-site crew. After approval, the time punches can be associated to the revenue on an order done through the Enter Actuals feature in the Local Dispatch module and can then be imported to the Revenue Entry module for billing. Use the Mobile Crew Time grid to associate the time punches to an order.

 

Use this screen by selecting an activity date range and branch of service. The application retrieves all time entries for all services within the date range and linked to the Dispatching Common View of the selected branch. Only punch activity that falls within the date range for the selected branch displays.

 

You can also filter the grid by Crew as well.

 

Select one or more records through the checkbox column and edit and approve time entries through options available through a right-click menu.

Approved time entries are available within Enter Actuals and are available for importing into Revenue Entry.

 

Access to this screen is controlled through the Mobile Crew Time security module. Refer to MSCrew Setup and Administration and to the Mobile Crew Time description within Security Modules for details.
