Syntax

TiqbTimeTracking

Remarks

The TimeTracking component is used to track employees' or subcontractors' time.

To add a TimeTracking record to QuickBooks, specify Employee (Name or Id) and set Duration to the number of minutes worked. Employee is not limited to being a QuickBooks employee, and in case a subcontractor or partner's time is being tracked, Employee might be a QuickBooks Vendor or "Other Name" as well.

If the time is billable to a customer, you must also set the BillableStatus, Customer, and ItemService properties. ItemService refers to a service item from the QuickBooks item list, which describes the type of work performed.

Additional properties that may be specified include TransactionDate, PayrollWageItem, and Notes.

Required Fields (Add): Employee*, Duration

Supported Methods: Add, Get (Id), Delete

Example

TimeTracking1.EmployeeName = "John Q. Engineer"       '*
TimeTracking1.Duration = "8:00"                       '8 hours, 0 minutes
Timetracking1.TransactionDate = "04/01/06"
TimeTracking1.BillableStatus = bsBillable
TimeTracking1.CustomerName = "Our Customer, Inc."     '*
TimeTracking1.ServiceItemName = "Engineering Design"  '* 
TimeTracking1.Add()

'*: Item must already exist in QuickBooks.

The component supports a variety of other operations as well. The component's Get, Cancel, and Delete methods may be used to retrieve and delete TimeTracking records, respectively. The ObjSearch Component may be used to search for TimeTracking records in the QuickBooks database.
