Time Billing

Entering adjustments and billing information on activity slips


Use the fields on the right side of the Enter Activity Slip window (Single Slip Entry view) to enter adjustment and billing information. The Adjustment fields are useful if you want to bill your customer for a number of hours or units that is different than the number you entered in the Units field. If you've already billed the customer on an invoice, even partially, you can enter the amount you've billed in the Already Billed fields.

Making adjustments

Both columns in the Adjustments fields show the same information, but in different terms. Entries in the left column are in hours or billing units. Entries in the right column, which appear only for chargeable activities, are currency amounts.

You can enter adjustment units or amounts as negative numbers if you want to indicate fewer hours or a lesser amount. On activity slips for non-chargeable activities, you can enter adjustment units only. However, adjustments you enter on activity slips for non-chargeable activities are for your information only, since non-chargeable activities can't be included on time billing invoices.

You can change the billable units and amount for the activity slip by entering adjustment units or an adjustment amount in the Adjustment fields.

Allowing for amounts already billed

You'll rarely have to enter an amount you've already billed when you're creating a new activity slip, but you can enter units or an amount for which you've already billed the customer in the Already Billed fields. Your entry will be subtracted from the Billable units and amount. The total units and amount that haven't been billed yet appear in the Left To Bill fields.

If you're viewing an activity slip you've previously created in the Enter Activity Slip window and you've created a time billing invoice for the activity slip, the amount you entered on the invoice will appear in the Already Billed fields.
