For staff items, a time reference is mandatory. Without it, staff planning is basically impossible. The booking times may or may not affect invoicing.
- To book an item either by the hour or per unit, select Time reference optional. It is possible, but not obligatory, to enter booking times. When the item is booked for an event, the specified hourly price is multiplied in the event segment by the number of hours (count 2 in the segment).
Ex: Service staff - To always book an item per hour, select Time reference mandatory. When the item is booked for an event, the times of the event or event segment are automatically copied to the item, but can be changed manually. The specified hourly price is multiplied by the number of hours (count 2 in the segment).
Example: Service staff per hour - To always book an item per unit, select Time reference flat rate. It is possible, but not obligatory, to enter booking times. The number of hours booked is only used for shift plannng and will not affect the price.
Example: A technician is invoiced to the client at a flat rate of € 280.00 per day. The actual work time in hours is only given as information.
