Time-based billing for an order
DMF | 020433 SALES DELIVERIES TIME-BASED BILLING FOR ORDERS |
Time-based billing refers to all offers for which each day spent by a service provider is billed based on an agreed daily rate. This type of billing can be used to issue sales invoices associated with timesheets, and bill actual expenses or expenses that are not linked to an order lines.

1 | Go to Management > Sales > Time-based billing for orders. |
2 | In the time-based billing screen that opens, enter your search criteria and click on Search. |
The table under the Bill section displays the list of timeheets associated with an order and/or the list of expenses relevant to the indicated search criteria.
3 | In the table under the Bill section, check Ignore to exclude a line from the time-based billing. By default, lines for which the amount to be billed equals 0 are automatically ignored. |
4 | If the amount to bill must be different from the Amount to be billed, then enter this new amount in the Amount to bill column. |
5 | To round up all the amounts to bill, click on the arrow at the right of Round up, then select the type of round up to apply (To the next higher/lower day/half day/quarter day). |
All the amounts displayed on the lines are rounded up to match the selected type of round up.

The screen for billing multiple orders opens.
Tips
Click on at the right of the Bill section to reset original values for all the lines, for example if a round up was applied or amounts to bill were indicated.
Click on at the right of the Bill section to refresh the list, for example to make sure no line was billed by another employee. When the list is refreshed, lines that were already billed are removed but not deleted.

The screen for billing multiple orders displays the list of timesheets and expenses selected from the billing screen via Management > Sales > Time-based billing for orders.
1 | From the open screen, fill in the following fields: |
Field | Description |

Select:
|
Delivery date | Enter the delivery date for timesheets and expenses. By default, the current date is filled in. |
Invoice date |
Enter the billing date for timesheets and expenses. By default, the current date is filled in. This field displays only if you selected draft invoices in the New field. |
Group timesheets and expenses |
When this box is checked, timesheets and expenses to bill are grouped per customer and the order's number no more displays. The expenses and timesheets linked to a customer are grouped in a single delivery note or invoice. When this box is not checked, the timesheets and the expenses are billed separately. The timesheets are therefore grouped per order while the expenses are grouped per customer. |
