When more than one installer works a job, Manifold can credit each of them for their part of the labor on the installer reports. There are two tools, and most jobs use one or the other.
**Several technicians on one work order**
Use this when the installers work the same job together. Open the work order (or the Create Work Order panel on the invoice) and click + Add another technician. With two or more people a Share % column appears. Type the shares top to bottom: the last technician is filled in automatically with whatever is left to reach 100%, so 50 then 30 leaves the third at 20. Every labor line on that work order is divided by those shares on Installer Profitability, Revenue by Technician and Technician Efficiency, and the report shows the share next to each line, for example "(60% share)". Shares can be changed any time while the work order is open, from the Technicians section, and every technician on the work order gets clock buttons under Time Tracking.
**Several work orders on one invoice**
Use this when the job is spread across days or across installers who each do a distinct part, for example an amp install on Monday by one tech and a tint on Wednesday by another. Open the invoice, scroll to Work Orders, and click + Add Work Order for each. When you create a work order the panel lists the invoice's labor lines; tick the ones this work order is doing. Each labor line belongs to exactly one work order, and the checklist shows which work order currently holds each line, so ticking a line held by another work order moves it. You can also change this later from the Labor section on the work order page.
Each work order has its own crew, its own shares, its own appointment on the calendar, and its own place on the Job Board. Book each one from the Scheduled column of the invoice's Work Orders section, or with Schedule Install on the work order page; the invoice's own Schedule button steps aside once there are two or more work orders. The invoice shows every work order in its Work Orders section with the technicians and the labor credited to each, and it posts only when the last open work order closes (a cancelled work order does not hold it open). If a labor line on an invoice with several work orders is not on any of them, the invoice says so, and that labor shows under Unassigned on the reports until a work order claims it.
**Correcting a job after it closes**
Payroll sometimes finds a credit mistake after the work order is closed and the invoice is posted, for example a second installer who was never added. The crew, the shares, and the labor lines on a closed work order can still be corrected, but only by an owner or a manager (store, office, sales, or installation manager); other staff see them read-only. Changing them moves installer credit on the reports and nothing else; the invoice, its totals, and its payments are untouched. A cancelled work order is locked for everyone.
**Tell the labor lines apart**
When an invoice has more than one labor line, give each one a description that says what it is for ("Amp install labor", "Tint labor") rather than the catalog code. On the invoice form the description of a labor line is editable right in the line, and adding a labor item from your catalog puts the cursor there. The claim checklists also show each labor line's line number and the product lines just above it, which is usually enough to tell which labor goes with which part of the job. If one flat labor charge needs to be split between two work orders, itemize it on the invoice into two lines first; a single line cannot be split.
**Work orders that started without an invoice**
A work order created from Service > Work Orders > New Work Order is not on any invoice. Once the invoice exists, open the work order and use Attach to Invoice in its Labor section: pick one of the customer's open invoices, then tick the labor lines it is doing. A work order attached to the wrong invoice can be detached again while it is still open.
