My work is billed on an hourly basis. I am having some difficulty billing a client who requires that I invoice by time-of-day the work begins and ends, in addition to the number of hours that I worked.
As described above, I’ve created custom fields in the Billable Time module, where I keep track of the start and stop times for each entry. I also enter the number of hours and minutes, based on a mental calculation since Manager cannot do that math for me, as @Tut mentioned elsewhere.
Since the resulting invoice cannot show the custom fields from the Billable Time module, as @Tut said above, I’ve been providing a screenshot of the Billable Time screen to my client so he can see all of this information in tabular form. The Billable Time screen, like the entry form, shows the time in hours and minutes but not in decimal hours. The problem is that my client’s AP department seems to have occasional trouble converting 1 hour 20 minutes to 1.33 hours. Instead, they turn it into 1.20 hours (because 20 minutes is .20 hours, right, obviously?) and I get underpaid and have to request a correction.
Is there a better way to use Manager to present my client with an accounting that includes start time, stop time, and time elapsed in decimal-hours format, without having to manually edit the invoices and double-enter all the start and stop times into new custom invoice line-item fields?
