Add contractor job details

Add the client and job context to a field record without turning the normal Field Register into an invoicing system.

What you will haveA field or route record and PDF that identify the client, job or quote reference and work being measured.
AllowAbout 2 minutes

Before you start

  • Measure or import the relevant field, route or distance first.
  • Decide what the client needs to see and check the measurement limitations.
  • AcreTrace records the job evidence; it does not calculate a price or create an invoice.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the saved record

    Find the field, route or distance in Field Register and open Survey details.

  2. 2

    Find Optional contractor job details

    Ordinary farm records can leave this whole section blank.

  3. 3

    Add the client and reference

    Enter the client name and the job, quote or work-order reference used in your own paperwork.

  4. 4

    Describe the work

    Use a short practical description such as north hedge cutting, fence renewal or mowing area.

  5. 5

    Save and create the PDF

    Save field details, then use Export Centre to create the field report. The optional job details appear with the measurement evidence.

If you get stuck

If you need rates, tax, signatures or invoicing, continue to use your normal quoting or accounting system.

Check client names and job references before sharing because they may be commercially sensitive.

For per-acre work, use net usable acreage only when the recorded exclusions genuinely match the work specification.
