Chargeable and non-chargeable details are entered directly into your timesheet in the top row of the table.

Use [Tab] or [Enter] to move through the time entry fields.

For each time entry

1. Start typing the name of your client in the top row Client/Job column and press [Enter] to open a drop-down list of matching client/jobs to choose from.

2. Select the Client or Client/Job you want to record time against.

   Time spent on non-chargeable work (for example, annual leave, sick leave, training) is recorded against the Non Chargeable client (client code: NONCHG). In New Zealand, in MYOB AO Classic, chargeable work was charged to a Practice Client. This Practice Client was converted to a client in MYOB AO. We recommend you do not use the converted Practice Client in MYOB AO.

3. Select a Job Year (job description), if applicable.

   UI Text Box
   type note
   The Year pre-fills automatically if there is only one job for the client. If there is more than one year, the current year defaults, otherwise select the relevant year from the drop-down list.

4. Select the appropriate Task code. Your standard charge rate will be displayed by default. You can select another charge rate if required.

5. Enter the time units in the Units column. The total charge value will be calculated and displayed in the Total column. You cannot change this value.Enter a comment, if required.

   UI Text Box
   type note
   The system defaults to 6 minute units as shown in the TimeUnit field at the top of the screen. You can select another time unit if you prefer to work in minutes or hours.

   UI Text Box
   type note
   When you complete a time entry, MYOB AO will repeat the entry fields with the same details you just entered, with the exception of the time units. You can then select a different client/job and task code if required.

6. Click [Enter] to complete the time entry.
7. When you have completed entering your time entries, click Save in the Tasks bar to save your timesheet.

When you close your timesheet page, MYOB AO will ask if you want to save your timesheet. If you choose not to save, any data you have entered since the last save will be lost.

Click Save in the Tasks bar to save your timesheet.
