This Help Article covers:

Site Visits is an optional “Billing” feature that can be used to capture Costs to identifiable areas of a Job as you go so they can be Invoiced to the Customer separately. Examples of Site Visits areas are “First Fix”, “Second Fix” and “Fitout” OR “Main House”, “Granny Flat” and "Garage".

Site Visits are created by Katipolt adding an Alpha Code suffix to the Job Number to identify them, I.E. “1234-A”, “1234-B”, “1234-C” etc.

If there is no requirement to Bill the Job in identifiable areas there is no need to add any Site Visits

💡TIP: By default, if Site Visits are not used, Jobs will display the suffix “A” on the Job Number where data is entered.

Site Visits for a Job display in Dropdown Options to allow selection. The Job details are greyed and the Site Visit(s) are black and available for selection

Where Site Visits are used, when adding Timesheets, Ordering Material, Reassigning Invoices, or Allocating Products, the appropriate Job Number+Suffix is selected to assign the Labour and/or Material to that Site Visit.

Site Visits display in the Site Visits Top Tab of a Job. Each Site Visit of the Site Visits Top Tab contains Expandable Sections to display; Timesheets, Purchases, Site/Ad Hoc Costs, Unsold Costs, and Orders.

Scheduler Booking Cards display the Job Number+Suffix along with the Site Visit “Title”.
