Hi all, I would like to create a single invoice with the number of hours instead of units. I cannot work it out. Is there an hidden setting please? Thanks ---

Are you using Billable Time? ---

I am not really understanding the billable time and all the movements you have to do. I have multiple invoices to create where I already have all the time reports from my management software. I only need to input the times like with a normal invoice but instead of quantity, I would love to be able to switch this to “hours”. ---

I checked the billable time, it is weird, it does not show the separate hours on the invoice as: Job A 2 Hours Job B 1 Hour Job C 3 Hours ---

setup a `Non-inventory Item` with its _Unit Name_ as Hours. Manager automatically replaces the _Qty_ heading with the common unit name across all line items or with the unit name of a single line item. ---

Thank you so much, let me check this. ---

ok I checked it, a very difficult one because I do web design/programming and testing, and each of the jobs I work on is different. The customers always want to do know on the invoice all the different fixes/updates/hour per hour. But using the non-inventory method will cause me to have to create a new item every single time I input a job which will make the invoice making process very long and difficult. I wish we had the opportunity to input this directly within the invoice. ---

just give a generic name to the non-inventory item and you can change the line description for each invoice as required. ---

Thanks. What I did instead is write everything in the description field and charged 1 total fee for the hours, otherwise, it is just overkilled to keep moving away from the main UI (going back and forth all the time). ---

Thanks for the heads up regarding the Unit Name - I did not know this could be done. However, I noticed that it does not change the heading “Qty” in the invoice/sales order - but it does add the words "Hours next to the number at the line item level - cheers ---

Oops - I just noticed that in the Sales Order I was looking at, there was one entry where Qty is “Days” so if all the of the line items are the same then it DOES change the heading - sorry ---

That behavior of Manager has been described dozens of times in the Guides and on the forum. ---
