Bill your customers for the hours you work. The Time tab keeps every hour with who did it, what it was for and the rate it bills at, and turns the ones you pick into invoice lines in one step.
Record hours
Open Time and press New entry. Fill in the day, the hours (type 1.5 or 1:30, both work), who did the work and what it was for. The description becomes the line the customer reads on the invoice, so write it for them: "Site survey and measurements", not "work".
Pick the customer and leave the rate blank to bill at their rate, or type a rate to bill this entry differently. The window shows what the hours come to before you press Record hours.
Time that nobody will be billed for (your own bookkeeping, a sales call) can be recorded as Not billable. It stays on the list for the record and never reaches an invoice.
Rates
Press Rates to set the default rate per hour, the income account hours post to, and each customer's own rate. An hour bills at the rate on the entry, else the customer's rate, else the default. An entry with no rate anywhere is named before you invoice, so a customer is never billed a guessed figure.
Invoice the hours
Press Invoice hours. Pick the customer (only customers with unbilled hours are offered), tick the entries to bill, and choose how they read:
- One line per entry shows the customer each day's work, dated, with the name of who did it. Sunrise Realty sees "9/3/2026 Dana Reyes: Site survey and measurements, 1.50 x $120.00".
- One line for all folds everything at the same rate and account into one figure of hours.
The window shows what the invoice will say before anything is created. Press Create invoice: the invoice posts exactly like a typed one, with the next number, your default terms and any sales tax the income account carries. Each entry now shows Billed with the invoice number, and opening it takes you to the invoice.
Changing your mind
Hours on an invoice cannot be edited or deleted; the invoice carries them now. Void or delete the invoice and the hours return to the unbilled list, ready to be invoiced again.
Finding your way
The band at the top counts unbilled, billed and not-billable hours; press a chip to show only that kind. Filter by customer, search by any word, and set the dates for billed work. Unbilled hours are always shown whatever the dates, because they are the work still waiting. Print or download the list from the toolbar.
