Get Started With A Free TrialWhen billable time or expenses is submitted for a project, billing line items are generated that you can add to client invoices.
For amounts based on rates, the billable line item is calculated by multiplying the billing rate used by the amount of time worked. However, billing calculation rules are also needed: they specify whether or not billable amounts should be prorated if only partial hours, days, or months were worked, depending on the type of rate in use.
These are Replicon’s default billing calculation rules:
Type of billable amount | Billing calculation rule |
---|---|
Expense | The full amount is always billed |
Fixed bid project | The full fixed bid amount is billed, either at project completion or after each complete week or month of the project, depending on how billing is set up |
Time & Materials project billed at a monthly rate | The full monthly amount is billed if any work is done that month |
Time & Materials project billed at an hourly or daily rate | Billing amounts are pro-rated based on the fraction of the hour or day worked |
Some customers might want to modify how billing line item amounts are calculated. If you use Replicon Professional Services Automation, you can ask Replicon to update these default rules to match your requirements.
Using custom rules has some advantages. For example, they can:
Examples of common customizations include:
Refer to the Administration > Projects > Billing Calculation Rules page to see the rules currently in effect in your system.
If you need your billing calculation rules to be customized or would like more information on this feature, contact your Customer Success Manager or Replicon Support.
No. The interface on the Administration > Projects > Billing Calculation Rules page exists purely so you can see what rules are in effect at any given time. Any customizations will display here, but Replicon makes all customizations based on your requirements.
Any rules that display on the Administration > Projects > Billing Calculation Rules are enabled by default.
The rules apply to all clients and projects in your system. However, any custom behaviour specific to particular projects or clients or other variables can be defined within the base rules. Replicon can modify scripts so they run differently, depending on what variables are involved.
Contact your Customer Success Manager or Replicon Support for more information on what sorts of customizations are possible.
