Question

We just switched to quickbooks time clock and are being required to choose a customer when clocking out and it is not applicable to us. How do we turn this off?

This setting wasn't on two days prior and then somehow got switched on and started requiring our guys to pick a customer to clock out. We would just like to know how to switch it back off.

You'll need to adjust the settings to turn this back off, admin459. To resolve this, simply navigate to your settings, uncheck the Required option for the customer field, and ensure you are logged in as an Admin. This will remove the mandatory prompt and allow your team to clock out normally again.

 

To uncheck the Required option, follow these steps:

 

  1. On your QuickBooks Time account, select Customers from the left menu. In the Manage Customers window, choose the customer name.
  2. In the Edit Customer window, select the Custom Fields tab and click Manage.
  3. From the Custom Fields window, locate the customer name, click the three vertical dots, and select Edit field.
  4. Uncheck the Required box in the Options section.
  5. Click Save.

 

Once completed, the prompt to select a customer will no longer appear when you clock out.

 

If you have further questions, please let us know in the comments.
