You can automatically add hours and mileage as line items on an invoice

There are 2 steps to enable working hours and mileage to show automatically on your invoice as line items when you have different rates set for individual workers and equipment:

  1. Set the hourly and distance rates. This is explained in the article How can I set up individual charge-out rates for Users and Equipment?
  2. Set the job templates to automatically add hours and mileage as line items to job invoices. This step is explained below.

Note: these instructions only apply if you have chosen the option to use different rates for individual workers and pieces of equipment. This is an optional vWork feature. If you haven’t chosen this option you can still automatically add line items for hours and mileage.  See the articles:
