How to run Technician Productivity Reports

Blackpurl has introduced the following Productivity Reports:

• Technician Performance

• Technician Hours 

• Payroll Hours

To run these reports:

1. From the Blackpurl Header > click Reporting > Reports

2. From Common Search > click on the report you want - Technician Performance / Payroll Hours / Technician Hours

• Each report will automatically default to certain parameters ie Last 7 Days for all Technicians

• These parameters can be changed ie different date range / report on a specific Technician etc by clicking on and then change your parameters to suit and then click

Technician Performance Report

• This will report on the Productivity / Proficiency / Efficiency of your Technicians using the data collected from Job Clocking / Payroll Clocking / Hours Invoiced

• The result of the report will depend on the filters used ie date range / specific Technicians etc and the accuracy of your staff clocking in / out of Job Clocking and Payroll Clocking

Reviewing the Technician Performance Report:

A.	List of Technicians that meet the report filters
B.	Hours Worked - this information comes from Payroll Clocking. How long each Technician has been Payroll Clocked On
C.	Hours Clocked On - this information comes from Job Clocking. The total amount of hours the Technicians have been Job Clocked onto Service Jobs
D.	Productivity - is calculated by comparing the No. Hours Clocked (Job Clocked onto Service Jobs) vs No. of Hours Worked  (Payroll Clocking) In our example below, you can see the Technician Cathy Price was Payroll Clocked in for 7.59 hours (Hours Worked) but she only Job Clocked on to Service Jobs (Hrs Clocked On) for a total of 5.3 6hours of that time (5.36 hours divided by 7.59 hours) x 100% to get 70.62% productivity rating  The following questions would be raised: - What was she doing for the other 2.23 hours (7.59 hours less 5.36 hours)? - Is the Job Clocking incorrect ie the technician didn't job clock onto other jobs when they should have? - Is the Payroll Clocking incorrect ie the Technician didn't clock off correctly?
E.	Clocked Hours Invoiced - Lists of hours on Customer Orders that have been billed / invoiced
F.	Clocked Hours WIP - List of Work In Process (WIP) hours that could be invoiced out.  In our example below, you can see Technician Cathy Price Job Clocked for a total of 5.36 hours.  Out of the 5.36 hours, the dealership invoiced 1.32 hours out to customers This leaves 4.04 hours WIP still left to be charged out (5.36 hours less 1.32 hours = 4.04 hours)
G.	Invoice Hrs - Amount actually billed out on the Customer Orders from the Hours Clocked In our example below, you can see Technician Cathy Price, Job Clocked Hours Invoices was 1.32 hours but the dealership actually Invoiced 2.3 hours instead
H.	Invoice Hrs WIP - How much additional WIP was billed out to customers on the date range For our example below, you can see the dealership also billed out an additional 13.56 hours this particular day
I.	Efficiency - is calculated by comparing the Clocked Hours Invoiced vs Invoiced Hours (including WIP) For our example below, you can see the (Invoice Hours + Invoice Hours WIP) / Hours Clocked x 100% will give you Efficiency % (2.30 hours + 13.66 hours) / 5.36 hours  x 100% = 295.90% Efficiency
J.	Proficiency - is calculating by comparing the billed invoiced hours divided by available hours (Payroll Clocking) In our example below, you can the (Invoice Hours & Invoice Hours WIP / Hours Worked x 100% will give you your Proficiency % (2.30 hours + 13.66 hours) / 7.59hours x 100% = 208.95% Proficient

Keep in mind that the Technician Performance report does not represent the hours that were invoiced out on a certain day or time period

To get that information, run an Open Service Job report and change the parameters to be Status = Invoiced and indicate the date frame
