I have my techs write the Job no on the top of their receipts for any supplies purchased. Then at the end of every day, the expenses are written in the lines of the job to be captured. Before receipts are scanned into QuickBooks, we verify that this has been completed on the job. If we do need to capture something that we did not just purchase, it is not on a receipt, like extra caulking, then it is added at the tech's discretion. I also write on the top of the receipt if it was SM (Supplies and Materials), GS (Goods Sold), Small Tools (TOOLS), or FUEL. So if it is marked GS, it should have a job number. IF anything is missing, it goes back to the tech.
Thanks for that process. I don't have one in place so its not getting done consistently. so, my techs are just using supplies and materials from the van. They don't go out and purchase (its rare that they do) its mostly SM for installations. So, basically, aside from starting and stopping the job timers, they need to keep track of how many elbows. crimps, pipe, etc they're using, and hand that in so it can be added to that particular job
