Record order
You create new orders in the order list via the blue "Record order" button (recording requires the permission to create customers — without it, the button is hidden). A dialog opens: the required fields at the top, three optional sections as cards below.
The required fields
- Customer (client) — required, with a search field; the select searches server-side, even with many customers.
- Property (optional) — assigns the order to a property. The property later drives the duty-roster filter and the in-app visibility of files on the order.
- Title — at least 3 characters; the placeholder shows the pattern: "Office maintenance cleaning, ground floor, 2× weekly".
- Description — optional free text.
The three sections
Below the master data sit up to three cards. "Execution task" is already active when the dialog opens; "Billing positions" and "Staffing requirements" are added via the chips under "More options". The X in a card's top-right corner removes the section along with its inputs.
Execution task
Creates a task on save that your team uses to carry out the order:
- Due on — the task's due date.
- Employees — who gets the task assigned ("Assign employees").
- Material demand — only with the material module enabled: via "Add material" you pick items and quantities planned for the execution.
Billing positions
Each position describes one invoice line. Via "Add position" you add any number of rows with:
- Kind — Service, Material, Travel, or Custom.
- Title — "Title (appears on the invoice)".
- Unit, unit price (net, in €), and VAT rate.
- by effort — when ticked, the quantity stays open; it is prefilled on completion from recorded time or consumed material. Without the tick, you enter a fixed quantity.
Positions of kind Service carry two extras:
- Service type — "Service type (links planning and capture)": the binding to your service-type catalogue. Only with it can the service schedule later check whether a shift covers the service.
- Execution planning — expandable: execution days (weekdays), one time window (from–to), staff per shift, and an execution note (e.g. "after closing time only").
:::tip By effort or fixed quantity? Recurring services with time tracking ("maintenance cleaning, hrs.") run by effort — the quantity comes from the actuals on completion. Flat rates and per-piece services ("deep cleaning, 1× flat") are recorded with a fixed quantity. :::
Staffing requirements
Independent requirement lines, separate from the positions — the target for staffing the shifts. Per line ("Add requirement line"):
- weekdays (at least one),
- optionally a time window (From/To),
- number of staff,
- optionally a qualification from your catalogue.
:::info Qualification catalogue If no qualification select appears, the catalogue is empty: "Maintain the qualification catalogue under Settings → Qualifications." :::
Save and keep planning
- Check your input and click "Record".
- The confirmation "Order recorded" appears — with the button "Plan shifts now".
- Clicking it opens the shift dialog of the planning calendar with the order already prefilled; if a property is set, the property filter is set too.
- Create the shift series there — it stays linked to the order and appears on the detail page under "Shifts".
You can also do this step later: the detail page of an open order offers the same entry point as the "Plan shifts" button.
