Customer Billing

Charge customers for parts and labor on a work order

5 min read

If you do paid work for external customers, you can record what to charge them and show the total on the printed work-order report. Customer billing is a Business-plan feature.

Set your prices

  1. On a part, set the Sale Price โ€” what you charge the customer per unit. It is separate from the unit cost you pay your supplier.
  2. On a work order, when you log time, set the Billing Rate โ€” the hourly rate charged to the customer (separate from the internal hourly cost).
  3. Optionally set a company-wide Default Billing Rate in Company Settings โ†’ Regional, so new time entries pre-fill it.

See the amount to charge

The work-order detail page shows a Customer Billing total (parts + labor). The printed report includes a Customer Billing section with the total to charge. It only appears when at least one sale price or billing rate is set.

Who can see it

  • Setting a part sale price needs the parts edit permission.
  • Setting a labor billing rate needs the cost-edit permission.
  • Seeing the billing totals needs the view-costs permission.

Tip

Customer billing is available on the Business plan. The sale price and billing fields stay hidden on lower plans.
