You may select Done, Waived, or Skipped. Remember that once a billable work ticket is marked as being Done, it is subject to being imported into an invoice by Accounting.
- The Done status indicates that the work was completed. The scheduled hours will then be credited to the job as budgeted hours to offset the actual hours worked on this job.
- The Waived status indicates that the work was not completed. With this status, you will still receive credit for the Scheduled hours in the Budget for the job.

The Show Linked Transactions check box is checked by default if the “Include Linked Transactions on Ticket Details screen” check box is selected in WS: Defaults.
If this check box is checked, any source record in the system that is tied to the work ticket number being viewed will be shown in the Ticket Actuals (bottom grid).

If you are on a Ticket that is a part of a multi day/multi crew schedule, the Ticket Actuals grid will include records from all linked Tickets.
If the multi day/multi crew schedule has a mixture of both tickets that are Force Budgets to Equal Actual and those that are not, only the current ticket’s linked transactions are displayed in the grid. The User is prompted with the following message when they select the Show Linked Transactions check box. "You cannot include all related tickets, since some of the tickets have Force Budgets to equal Actuals checked, and some do not.”
Select the Force Budgets to equal Actuals check box to disregard the existing budget items in the Ticket Budgets grid (they will be grayed) and use the Ticket Actuals as the Budget in the Profit Summary area. The variance between Actual and Budget will always be 0.00%.
If the Budget is forced to equal the actual, the For Job Cost check box in the Ticket Actuals grid is not available.
Use the Copy Selected Budgets to Actuals button to copy the line items from the Budgets grid to the Actuals grid. Highlight the appropriate rows in the Budgets grid and select this button.

This information is read-only and is not stored at the Schedule level. If the Budget Type is Labor, the current Tax and Insurance rates for this Job display.
The work ticket captures the user-entered tax percentage, so if using the Tax Allocation feature, the user-entered percentage is used to break out the ticket budget.
Unlike the Daily job budgets where the calculated tax amount is saved, the work ticket captures the tax percentage. This total percentage will be broke out into the ten tax/insurance components in the same proportions that exist in the tax and insurance table for the associated Job.
The Ticket Actuals grid is used for tracking Actual Revenue and Expenses related to the work ticket. Those line items that are selected as Billable are imported into the Accounts Receivable Invoice when importing the Unbillable work ticket.
The Labor line items do not include calculated Overtime. Only the straight rate is used for calculating labor dollars.
Revenue displays on Job Cost reports when Accounts Receivable Invoices are posted to the General Ledger, and Labor displays on the Job Cost reports when the Payroll batch has been posted to the GL.

This indicates that either the source record was changed and no longer matches the Ticket Actual record, or that the Ticket Actual record was changed and no longer matches to the Source record. Click the red X to display the Source Detail Information.
Important: This only happens if the Auto Update Ticket Actuals from Timekeeping check box (in the Work Scheduling Defaults window) is NOT selected.
