Viewing Payment Records
Each row in the table corresponds to one booking. It contains the booking number, the booking date, and all expense-related information.
Here is how each component works:
Man-days
Shows how many man-days the technician worked for that booking. The system uses this number multiplied by the technician’s rate to calculate the main portion of the payment.
Fixed Expenses
This field allows you to add fixed allowances such as daily fees, meals, or predefined compensation amounts.
Travel Expenses
Use this to record transport costs like taxi fares, fuel, train tickets, or any other reimbursable travel amount.
Photos of Receipt
Clicking the orange eye icon opens a dedicated receipt viewer. If the technician did not upload any receipts, the system displays:
“No photos provided.”
Comments
You can add clarifying notes here. These comments help internal teams understand adjustments or special cases.
Viewing Expense Receipts
To check receipt photos:
Step 1: Click the eye icon next to the booking number.
Step 2: A new window opens showing all uploaded receipts. If no receipts were submitted, the page clearly states “No photos provided.”
This helps validate reimbursement accuracy before confirming payments.
Marking Payments as Completed
When payment has been issued to the technician:
Tick Payment Sent.
Add a Payment Number for internal tracking (e.g., bank transfer ID or invoice reference).
Once the technician confirms receiving payment, tick Payment Received.
Add comments if needed.
This creates a complete financial record for the technician’s work.
If payments are still pending, the summary section shows:
Unpaid
Total: 0.00
This helps you quickly identify which technicians are still awaiting payment.
