These windows can be moved to any position.

To enter employee data, please open the window Employees first (Settings –> Employees).

Open the context menu by a right-click into the blank part of the window. Select Add employee in the context menu.

Enter all employee data in the window Edit employee and confirm with OK.

Repeat this process until the data of all relevant employees are entered.

After you have entered all employees, press the F5 key to refresh the display.

You can now see the employees in the Timetable window.

If you would like to use ZePlanner ACalc order costing, please select a GAW group and or enter an individual GAW (Gross Average Wage).

Press the F2 key to open the window for a new order (Order #, with # representing the number of the order). Please enter all data relating to the order here.

This is also the window where you enter the client data and (if different) the property data.

If you click on Search, then the respective overview will open in a separate window, allowing you to edit the client database and property database there as well.

If you want to allocate orders to employees, move the order via drag&drop from the Order overview onto the respective employee in the timetable.

The order is now allocated to that employee and can be moved or lengthened/shortened at will.

Right-click on an order in the order overview and select Order costing (alternatively: Orders –> Order costing) to open the window Order costing.

After selecting a specific order from the order selection, you can enter the income and the costs.

Open the window Income by clicking on the button Edit income, then right-click in the window Income for order # –> Add income.
Here you can enter the name and the amount of the income.

Repeat this process until you have entered every income of the order.
You can enter the costs analogously (Edit costs –> Costs window).
Both windows can be closed after finishing.

Click on the button Refresh after you have finished.
The order costing will now be calculated with the values you have entered.
