Customer and project hourly rates

If the pricing of work hours varies between customers and projects, recording contract prices in the customer or project account hourly rates facilitates the creation of project invoices with the correct hourly charges. The project price list price overrides the customer price list price, which in turn overrides the hourly rate defined in the general settings. The hourly pricing utilizes the program's job types, professional titles, or user-specific pricing. If a user has been assigned a specific hourly rate, it overrides any professional title rate, which in turn overrides the jobtype rate. More information about the pricing logic can be found here.

Processing of hourly rate lists is generally similar for both account and project cards. The difference is that more than one hourly rate list can be created for an account card, with one being active and that can be retrieved for use on the project card. On the project card, in turn, a different job title can be added for the user for that particular project.

Project Card Hourly Rate

If you provide project-specific prices for jobtypes, professional titles, or users, they will override the prices available on the account card or from general settings. The project's hourly rates can be created "from scratch" or imported from the active rate card on the account card as a basis for editing.

Importing the account's hourly rate list as the project's hourly rate list

You can import the hourly rates defined in the account card directly as the project's hourly rate list or as a basis for editing. If the project already has hourly rates, the program will ask if you are sure you want to replace the prices.

Adding Project-Specific Jobtype Pricing

If you want staff to use only the selected work types for project time entries, select Use only selected work types.
Project jobtype prices override the jobtype prices set for the account or general settings.
Setting prices works the same way as on the account card. If the jobtype price is left blank, the default price will be retrieved from the account card, or if absent, from the general settings.

Adding Project-specific Professional Title Pricing
