The first transaction TimeIPS submits will be IPS1 and TimeIPS will increment the ticket number by 1 for each transaction.

  • If all transactions should be imported into a single Activity Item, set the Activity Item ID Field Mapping to Use default and enter the Peachtree Activity Item ID in the Default Activity Item ID field.

• Customer/Job/Adm (Adm will ignore "Completed for ID"), Completed for ID Field Mapping and Default Completed for ID (if "Completed for ID" field above is blank):

   

  • If all transactions should be imported as Administrative Time Tickets (not per job), set the Customer/Job/Adm to Adm, leave the Completed for ID Field Mapping to Blank, and Default Completed for ID blank.

   

   

  • If you are storing Job or Customer IDs for each employee or transaction in a TimeIPS field (such as Employee's Department for Job Code), set the Customer/Job/Adm either to Customer (indicating Customer ID) or Job (indicating Job ID), select the TimeIPS field in the Completed for ID Field Mapping pull-down, and enter the Default Completed for ID TimeIPS should use if the mapped field's value is blank for any transaction.

   

   

• Override Billing Rate with Job/Employee Hourly Rate from TimeIPS: TimeIPS can provide Peachtree with employee's hourly rates as the Peachtree Job/Customer Billing Rate for each transaction. If you want to use this functionality, set the pull-down to Yes.
