| This project is being kept as simple as posible, I am using | |
| electrical data as I am a qualified electrician but it will be | |
| able to be used by all trades men. | |
| All screens will have a control tip help system with information | |
| as to that controls usage and any helpful information I think | |
| may help it can be turned on and of in the preferences so it | |
| would be able to be used for training. | |
| Both the customer and suppliers have been update from those in | |
| DD's simple home accounts | |
| the only differences are the email, website, notes And for the | |
| suppliers A contact field. | |
| You can view stored websites should one be entered. | |
| You can open your default email client so you can send the | |
| selected records an email using the entered email address | |
| As you will see there is button by each field which you use for | |
| the above. | |
| I have also added a auto dialer so you can contact | |
| suppliers/customers directly from the system you will need this | |
| setup to be able to make use of this feature. | |
| All other features work as in DD's Simple Home Accounts | |
| This project will include complete control tip information so | |
| should you Need information as to what a button or box does just | |
| hover over it for a short message that should aid you | |

| Re:WorkOrders | |
| By: Michael Date: May 18, 2019, 6:32 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Workorders Are simpler than they look to use they have been | |
| baised around: | |
| [list type=decimal] | |
| [li]Client Calls to enquire about works and requests somebody be | |
| sent to do an estimate, a work order is created for that | |
| estimate and report printed for engineer to take and fill out | |
| with a short description, List of parts and maybe a small | |
| drawing to show a basic layout[/li] | |
| [li]Note: You can create a work order though the estimates | |
| screen without creaating a work order to carry out the estimate | |
| view the estimates section for more information [/li] | |
| [li]NOTE: the date and other related items in the Start Date for | |
| job While the client is on the phone then you should agree a | |
| date and time for the Estimate to be carried out you can check | |
| the availablity of all employees by clicking the "Open Diary At | |
| This date" Button, if there is no date the current date is used | |
| Review the diary section for information as to the diary useage. | |
| https://databasedreams.createaforum.com/works-manager/user-manual-43/msg71/#msg… | |
| [li]The engneer returns to the office with their paperwork | |
| brings up the workorder as on the estimate Works Docket now the | |
| estimate can be created, Use the create estimate button at the | |
| top of the screen once used this is greyed out and cannot be | |
| reused for that work order[/li] | |
| [li]If the client Approves then the estimate is maked as | |
| appoved, you can then from the estimate screen create a new work | |
| Order for the approved estimate this links the new workorder and | |
| estimate together[/li] | |
| [li]I will cover additions to works here[/li] | |
| [/list] | |

| There are two types of addition one where you need to create a | |
| new estimate to cover the new works requested and one where the | |
| works are only minor and can be delt with on site | |
| The top list on the screen below shows only approved and | |
| additions estimates and there amount is added to the work orders | |
| additions charge. | |
| the bottom list is a simple add date short descrition of works | |
| and the cost parts and labour | |
| I will cover the below in more detail as the system is futher | |
| developed | |

| creating a purchase order you can use this screen with a new | |
| purchase order but it will not allow you you to edit one from | |
