Billing clients for projects are one of the most necessary tasks, as revenue generation is vital for every organization for them to sustain themselves. Management of bills is undoubtedly a daunting task, but with the advent of technology and softwares such as TimeLive by Livetecs, it has never been easier.
Here we break down for you how the billing works in TimeLive. For the first part it is essential to know that the billing rates are divided into four different types that are configurable at the project time, then TimeLive will merely pick up the bill rate that you have chosen based on the time entries that you helped define for employee and project level respectively.
The bill rates will be decided when you one is adding the necessary characteristics of the project into the software. To choose your type, click on the option that reads ‘Project,’ and a drop-down menu will appear displaying the four categories as mentioned before which are:
- Use Employee Own Billing Rate; this option picks up the billing rates that were set by the workers according to their sheets.
- Use Projects Roles Billing Rate; this rate is predetermined by your organization according to project roles.
- Use Project employee Billing Rate; this type will choose the prices that are determined when the project is being set.
- Use Task-Based Billing Rate; as the name suggests, the bills will be decided on the number of tasks performed.
