Charging the Customer

After recording the time spent on tasks, you can convert those projects into invoices to get paid for the work done.

Scenario: Peter has logged time for the work done. But he’s unsure of the amount of money he should charge. So he first raises an estimate and sends it to the customer. Once the customer accepts it, he will convert it to an invoice. He also wants to record and reimburse expenses incurred while working on the project . So he records all the expenses and adds them to the invoice as well. 

Similarly, if the need be, you can also convert your projects into estimates or invoices and record expenses for the same.

Recurring Invoices

If would you be working on the same project for the same amount of hours again and again, then you can make this recurring so that invoice would be generated automatically in the fixed time interval without you having to manually raise it every time.


Record an Expense

Projects do have expenses. It can be anything from buying a simple coffee for your user to purchasing tools for a task. Record these expenses for your projects.

Collect Advance payments

At times your might have to take an advance payment to buy tools or arrange resources for the project you are going to work on. Create a retainer invoice for the project and accept advance payments. You can later adjust them with the invoice you create from the project.
