Before you start

You need Timesheets permissions to view and edit technician timesheets and to manually batch invoices. If you don't have it, contact your admin.

What you're seeing

You're trying to manually batch invoices, but you get an error that a technician has an overlapping timesheet. The batch won't complete until the conflicting timesheet entries are corrected. This usually points to one or more specific jobs where a technician's recorded times overlap.

Why this happens

There is 1 common reason.

Reason 1

A technician was dispatched to a new job before the previous job was completed, so their timesheet entries overlap in time.

ServiceTitan blocks batching until the overlapping times are corrected on the affected job records.

How to fix it

1Find and correct the overlapping timesheet entries

Use this if the batch fails with an overlapping timesheet error for a technician.

  1. Go to the navigation bar and click Search.

  2. Click the Search dropdown and select Job.

  3. Use the Technician and Job Status filters to find the job records that aren't exporting.

  4. Find any job marked Dispatched before the previous job is Completed, and update its dispatch time to match the completion time of the last job.

  5. Open the job record.

  6. In the Timesheets section of the job record, click View Timesheets.

  7. Edit the fields as needed and click Update.

  8. After all jobs are completed and times are corrected, manually batch the invoices again.

Note: You can compare the actual job timesheets and the dispatch board technician timesheets to see where the discrepancy is.

Tip: You can use the Timesheets report template to create a report on the timesheet activities of the technician.

✓ Done · Once the overlapping times are corrected, the error clears and the invoices batch successfully. You're done.
