Using a Model Time Entry

You can save time and reduce the possibility for error by using a model time entry to create a new billing batch. A model time entry is based on any posted time entry batch. A model time entry is especially useful if you charge for equipment on a regular basis and can use the time entry batch from the prior period as a model.

Ensure that you have posted at least one time entry to the general ledger.

Access the Work With Equipment Time Entries form.

1. Complete any of these fields, and click Find to locate a time entry on which you want to base the model:

   • Batch Number

   • Batch Type

2. Select the batch that you want to copy and click Copy.

3. On the Equipment Time Entry form, make any changes necessary to the record and then click OK.

   Note: FMJE automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) are used to exclude accounts that you do not want to see when the model is used. For example, typically the credit entries on a posted batch would be filtered out to display only the debit entries.
