Two carpenters return to fit trim after a cabinet layout changes. What should go on the ticket before they leave?
Follow this example through Details, Labor, Items, Photos, Complete and PDF in T&M Ticket Pro 1.0.0. All people, companies, job references, quantities and events below are fictional. The example records work and quantities, not prices or an invoice.
This is a written example, not a screenshot or a PDF exported by the app. For a practice ticket, use fictional details throughout and keep it separate from your real job records.
For a fresh practice setup, use company Sample Trim Workshop, preparer Sam Example and prefix DEMO. Do not replace your real company profile just to try the example.
Choose New ticket, then select Extra work on Details. Use a ticket number that is not already on the phone.
Ticket number: DEMO-2026-0001
Work date: 2026-09-08
Customer company: Example Fit-Out Team
Customer contact: Lee Sample
Project name: Demo Workshop Reception
Project / job number: DEMO-R17
Jobsite location: Demo Site A, practice location
Site area / level / room: Ground floor, reception counter
Customer representative / title: Lee Sample / Site supervisor
Prepared by: Sam Example
Use the date the work happened. The job number identifies the project; the ticket number identifies this record.
Instead of "extra trim work," separate the request, completed work and unfinished work:
Directive / reference: DEMO-FI-06
Short work summary: Refit reception trim after cabinet layout change
Reason / instruction for work: Lee Sample requested trim refitting at the reception counter after the cabinet positions changed, recorded under DEMO-FI-06.
Detailed work performed: Removed the affected trim at the reception counter, cut and fitted replacement lengths to the revised cabinet positions, secured the trim and cleared the work area. Used 18 ft of replacement trim and 24 screws. Painting and touch-up were not carried out on this ticket.
Record only what happened. Do not invent an instruction reference, imply approval that was not given, or include planned work as completed.
On Labor, use one row per person and enter Carpenter in Trade / classification for both. These categories are supplied for the fictional job; the app does not decide which hours qualify as overtime.
Labor entries, in decimal hours
Sam Example: Regular 1.5; OT 0; DT 0.
Jo Example: Regular 2.25; OT 0.5; DT 0.
Totals: Regular 3.75; OT 0.5; DT 0.
Check: 1 hour 30 minutes is 1.5 hours; 2 hours 15 minutes is 2.25 hours. The rows add to 4.25 person-hours: 3.75 regular plus 0.5 OT. Do not add another crew row for those same hours. OT and DT are separate recorded quantities, not automatic price multipliers.
On Items, add two material rows and one equipment row. These are quantities used, not prices. Leave Other items empty.
Material and equipment entries
Materials: Replacement pine trim; quantity 18; unit ft.
Materials: Trim screws; quantity 24; unit ea.
Equipment: Cordless drill; quantity 0.75; unit hr.
ft means feet, ea means individual pieces, and hr means hours. "18" alone could mean feet, lengths or packs. The drill's 0.75 hour is 45 minutes of equipment use; do not add it to labor hours.
This practice ticket needs no photos. For real work, Photos offers Camera and Choose, with up to eight images. Caption the place and what is shown: "Reception counter, trim after refitting; painting not carried out." Include only permitted photos without unrelated private information. In-app camera photos may not also be saved in your gallery.
Read back the details, hours and quantities before opening Complete. Fix any entries listed under Finish these fields first.
Lee left before the crew finished. Choose Record unsigned, select Customer representative unavailable, and enter:
Lee Sample had left the site before cleanup was completed. No customer acknowledgement was obtained.
Select Record unsigned completion. The ticket is now Unsigned, not Acknowledged. Its PDF should show UNSIGNED COMPLETION RECORD.
If using Customer signature on a real job, let the representative review the ticket and displayed acknowledgement before signing. Enter their name and relevant title, company and comment. After they sign, confirm the checkbox that they have read the acknowledgement and choose Acknowledge and lock ticket. Never draw someone else's signature. Neither completion label should be treated as proof of payment or a promise that the office will accept the ticket.
On PDF, choose Save a copy outside the app. Choose a folder or storage provider in Android's document picker and finish saving. Use an offline destination if you need it without a connection.
Open that saved file from its destination, not just from the ticket. Check the ticket number, work date, every page, the 3.75 regular / 0.5 OT / 0 DT totals, the three item rows and the unsigned note. This example should not contain a signature.
To send a real ticket, use Share a copy. Check the recipient and finish sending in the destination app. Opening the chooser alone does not send anything.
Open private in-app PDF does not save an independent copy. Keep important PDFs somewhere you control outside the app; a copy stored only on the same phone can still be lost with that phone.
T&M Ticket Pro has no automatic backup, office sync or restore/import for editable tickets. A saved PDF preserves the document, but cannot recreate the editable ticket inside the app.
Keep any important existing PDF before choosing Edit on a completed ticket. Confirming the edit clears its acknowledgement or unsigned completion record and removes the old private PDF. Complete the corrected ticket again, save a new copy, and tell anyone who received the earlier copy which one to use. Previously saved or shared PDFs do not update themselves.
