Timesheet / Service Report

Extract worked hours, activities and approvals from timesheets and field-service reports.

The Challenge

Timesheets and service reports are frequently handwritten on site, with smudged entries, signatures, project codes and material usage. Hours must be totalled and mapped to projects and pay/billing rules.

Industries

Construction, field service, facility management, engineering, staffing.

Who Uses It

Project controllers, payroll, service dispatch, billing.

BASE Schema

Employee / technician — Text

Date(s) — Date

Project / cost centre — Text

Hours per activity — Table

Materials used — Table

Travel / expenses — Number

Customer signature present — Boolean

Approval — Enumeration (approved, rejected, pending)

Recommended pipeline settings — High precision mode, Checkbox detection, Context (project → cost-centre mapping, billable rules)

OPTIONAL Validation

Hours summed and checked vs. limits; project codes validated; signature presence for billable approval; duplicate-day detection.
