Filling Out Order Information
The details page is where users will enter important job information including the job title, start date, bill and pay rates, contact roles (such as the Supervisor or hiring Manager) and more:
Customer Information:
The customer information section displays the (1.) customer ID, (2.) worker comp code, (3.) work site and (4.) directions. 
The work site information is pulling in based on the default worksite setup within the related customer/department record and can be modified by selecting different worksites from the drop-down.
*Note* It is incredibly important that customer worksites are set up correctly as Enterprise uses worksite information to determine how taxes are applied to an employee's paycheck.
Financial Details:
- Multiplier Codes: Within the financial details section, users can either manually enter the pay and bill rate information or utilize any (1.) multiplier codes (i.e. mark up) listed to have the bill rates automatically calculated against the pay rate entered.
- Pay Periods: Defines the payroll schedule that employees' are on. The pay period that is selected will be used to accurately calculate taxes during payroll processing. The pay period that defaults into the order is driven by the pay period that was set on the related customer record.
- GP Percent: The gross profit percent that displays is what has been calculated for the order. Enterprise will include SUTA, FUTA, worker comp, FICA and med when calculating for GP percent
- Desired GM% (gross margin): Will automatically post-fill from the misc. page of the customer record if that information has already been added and saved.
- OT Factor: If overtime should be paid at a rate other than time and a half, you can use the OT factor. The factor entered will multiply against the pay rate to calculate the overtime rates.
Job Information:
The job information section is where the number of required employees, job title, description, start date, estimated end date and shift times are entered. Depending on what users have setup within the customer record specific fields will already have populated when the order is created.
Don't forget to save when you are done entering all the information!
