Billing for time > Setting billing rates
You can set billing rates that will automatically appear when you create an activity slip. The billing rate can be set for the customer, employee, supplier, or for the activity itself. You can still override these rates when you create the activity slip.
For example, for an activity such as the time spent photocopying, you might use a flat rate for all customers, in which case you would use the activity’s billing rate. For other activities, you might charge the customer according to the employee who performed the activity, the billing rate depending on factors such as the expertise and experience of the employee.
To set a billing rate for an activity
You can set up a billing rate for each activity regardless of the customer you are billing or the employee or supplier who performed the activity. The billing rate for an activity is set in the Activity Information window. See Creating activities.
To set a billing rate for a customer
You can set up billing rates for customers on their cards. This option is useful if you perform the same activities for multiple customers and want to charge each customer a different rate.
