Customer Case:
The customer wants to understand how Business Hours configured in a jobsite's Cost Settings affect the calculation of Workdays on Site and asset costing. They may notice that certain transfer dates are included or excluded from the calculation and want to know why.

How does ON!Track work?
Business Hours are configured in the jobsite's Cost Settings and define the start and end of the working day. These hours are important because ON!Track uses them to determine whether an asset's transfer date should be counted as a chargeable working day.
When an asset is transferred into or out of a jobsite, ON!Track checks the transfer time against the configured Business Hours.
- If the transfer occurs within the configured Business Hours, that day can be considered in the Workdays on Site calculation.
- If the transfer occurs outside the configured Business Hours, that day may not be counted according to the business rules applied by ON!Track.
Example:
Jobsite Business Hours:
- Start Time: 08:00
- End Time: 17:00
Asset transfer:
- Asset arrives at the jobsite at 10:00 → Arrival is within Business Hours, so the day can be considered in the calculation.
- Asset arrives at the jobsite at 18:00 → Arrival is outside Business Hours, so that day may not be counted as a Workday on Site.
The same logic applies when an asset leaves the jobsite. ON!Track uses the configured Business Hours to determine whether the arrival and departure dates contribute to the total Workdays on Site.
Because asset cost calculations are based on Workdays on Site, correctly configuring Business Hours is important to ensure accurate costing results. Incorrect start or end times can cause the calculated Workdays on Site and asset charges to differ from customer expectations.
