Hello there, mvanhaltern.

 

I want to ensure that your issue with importing custom fields gets resolved in no time. That said, can you share with me the specific error message you encountered? I'd also appreciate it if you could provide a screenshot.

 

I'll keep an eye out for you response.

I would like to do this too. My employees need to easily clock in for travel start and end times and then "transfer" to session start time. I want to add 2 additional clock in and out fields in QB Time. Can I do this and how?

I appreciate your interest in adding a custom field so your employee can clock in seamlessly, @Fishgirl0212

 

Please know that custom fields in QBO are different in QB Time. We can create a job if you're referring to the clock in and out in QB Time. This way, it will add another field on the Time Clock window. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Select Jobs at the left panel.
  2. Tap the Add button and then choose Job.
  3. Enter the necessary information, then click Save.

 

Here are some screenshots for visual reference:

 

See this article to learn more about fields: Set up and manage custom fields in QuickBooks Time.

 

Since the fields in Timesheet won't sync in QBO, we can use classes when transferring the time. This tracking system will allow you to work efficiently. Just make sure to enable the feature first.

 

Next, follow the steps below: 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Payroll settings.
  2. Locate the Accounting section, then click the Pencil icon.
  3. On the Class tracking section, tick which one you'd like to use.
  4. Map the classes for each employee, then hit Save

 

 

I'm sharing a couple of these references if you need help with the Class tracking feature:
