MeisterOffice offers two ways to track time: the clock under Zeit (Time) and the AI scanner under Erfassen (Capture).
The clock
Under Zeit und Team, Zeit (Time and Team, Time) you check in when work starts, optionally with a project and note. The clock runs live, and checking out completes the entry. If you prefer to log time in the evening, use Eintrag erfassen (Record entry): date, hours in quarter-hour steps, project, description and the billable flag.
The AI scanner (Erfassen)
Under Erfassen (Capture) you photograph a receipt or a paper work report:
- For a receipt, the AI reads the supplier, category, amount, VAT and date and creates an expense draft from it.
- For a work report, it recognises the project and the work lines (date, hours, description).
You always check the draft yourself and decide with Übernehmen (Accept) or Verwerfen (Discard). Nothing is saved without your confirmation.
Good to know
- GPS location on clocking in and out is optional and needs each employee’s consent (Einstellungen, Zeiterfassung / Settings, Time tracking).
- Recorded hours appear immediately in the time overview and in payroll preparation.
- Marking billable hours cleanly pays off: nothing gets forgotten at billing time.
