The advantages of our company using these types of tickets; would be allowing the firm to track details relative to the jobs we perform for our customers. On an administrative level; this will allow the company an internal control in reporting overhead costs to the company as well as tracking the hours spent on any one function or process (Yacht, 2008).

Time tickets as an example, will be used to record time spent on consultations, and research for our customers. Or, how much time was spent in preparing proposals or out-of-office tasks, related to customer based transactions. As a company we will be able to set up demographics in specifying whether these job hours spent, were billable or non-billable hours; against our clientele. In looking at any chosen time ticket, management will be able to see the activity being performed and for what customer. For invoice purposes, the time ticket will show descriptive ticket information pertaining to the tasks completed. Notable items seen on the time ticket are the billing rate, billing type, duration of the task and what employee performed the function (Yacht, 2008).

Expense tickets will be used too track, and recover customer-related expenses. Such as making copies, faxing documents, mileage and parking fees.

Notable items seen on the expense ticket are the ticket number, ticket date, charge item selection, and those categories necessary in charging the appropriate amounts (Yacht, 2008).
