# Time tracking on estimate line items

In a larger job it can make sense to record time not only generally on the job, but to run it against the line items described in our estimate.

If this feature is enabled, it can be set directly on a line item or group of line items whether they should be available for time tracking.

Under Settings > Finance > Estimate you can define under which conditions the line items of an estimate are offered - this concerns the status of the estimate. In addition to the status of this document, the status of the job is also a prerequisite. The job status must be set to "active" or "to be billed".

In the settings of a job, all estimate line items of a job can also be configured at a glance for time tracking in the "Time Tracking" section - even if there are multiple estimates in the job.

How to do this and further details can be found here:

## Troubleshooting: I cannot record time on estimate line items

* Is the job status "active" or "to be billed"?
* Is time tracking enabled in the job under the Settings tab in general?
* Is the estimate line item enabled for time tracking?
* Am I authorized to see the job and the customer account (in the job and customer account under the Settings and Access Rights tabs)?
* Is the estimate status included in the list that is allowed for time tracking under Settings > Finance > Estimate?
* Am I generally authorized to use job time tracking?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.dieagenturverwaltung.de/die-agenturverwaltung-en/einstellungen-1/zeiterfassung/zeiterfassung-an-positionen-von-kostenvoranschlaegen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
