Track 2.5 billable hours for one client project at AUD 120 per hour. Keep the half-hour of internal work non-billable.
- 2
Review the expense
Record the agreed AUD 40 project cost and mark it billable. Make sure both the selected time and expense are ready for invoicing.
- 3
Prepare the draft
Choose the approved billable hours and expense. Review the two source-linked lines and the AUD 340 total before issuing anything.
How we checked it
We prepared an invoice draft in TimeLodge with these example records. We checked the total and confirmed each line links back to the selected work.
- The selected billable time and expense stay linked to the draft.
- The non-billable half-hour is left out.
- The same recorded work cannot be added to a second draft.
What this example covers
- This example stops at a draft. It does not send an email, charge a client or demonstrate a payment.
- The amounts use one currency, with no tax, discount or currency conversion applied.
- Your agreement and selected records determine what you bill. Recording time does not make every hour billable.
