Add a work type

You add work types to indicate the nature of the work or activities conducted in hours and not in costs.

Example:  Work types for which a physical action is needed

  • Carpentry
  • Wage tax objection
  • Administrative work
  • Writing a report

To add a work type:

  1. Go to: 
    • Projects / Item / Work type.
    • Projects / Item / Groups / Integration group, Work type tab.
  2. Click on: New
  3. Select the VAT rate group that is applicable for this work type.

    You can only select rate groups linked to the legislative country.

    Click here for a detailed description of the VAT settings.

  4. Select the Presentation group if you want to set it.
  5. Click on: Next
  6. Complete the fields. 

    Note: 

    You record the cost price and the sales price of the hours using calculation bases that you define yourself. These prices are time-dependent.

    The prices that you see under the Price heading when adding a new work type are used in Profit Order management.

  7. Enter the fields if in addition to Profit Projects you also use Profit HR/Payroll and if in the settings for these modules you have indicated that you want to link actual costing to the salary processing.
  8. Select the Charge check box if you can charge the work type on to your customers via the invoices.

    Deselect this check box, for example for a work type for which you must report internal hours that you cannot charge on.

  9. In Invoice text you can select a text to print on your project invoices. You can only select texts that specify they can be used for a project group.
  10. You can record extra information for the work types using custom fields that you add to custom tabs. If you have defined custom fields and tabs, you can now record this data directly.
  11. Click on: Finish
