Recording Time Tickets
Peachtree Accounting uses the concept of tickets to track time and expenses. 
There are two types of tickets—time tickets and expense tickets. The difference 
between time and expense tickets is the type of service or item that the ticket 
references.
Time Tickets
Time tickets record an activity that has a timed duration associated with it. 
Employees or vendors can record time spent performing activities like the 
following:
talking on the phone or meeting with a client
researching information for a project
designing and writing proposals
developing or completing tasks for a project
Peachtree Accounting allows you to manually enter timed durations or 
actively start and stop a timer running while performing the activity. When 
using the timer, Peachtree calculates the duration for you. You can even 
account for breaks in the activity that should not be included in the duration 
such as lunches, telephone calls, or other interruptions.
You can use two methods to enter time tickets. You can enter single daily time 
tickets in the Time Tickets window using the Daily tab, or you can enter 
several time tickets at once using a weekly time sheet. This is done in the 
Weekly tab of the Time Tickets window.

Our customer provided us with the text and artwork to go in the brochure. 
Judy, one of our employees, spent 4.5 hours designing and typesetting the 
brochure. For this type of project, graphic design is billable by the hour.
