3. Select Invoices on the left of the Billing tab.
4. Click the Invoice # to include a time entry.
You can only attach time entries to unpaid invoices.

The time entry is indicated by the time entry icon on the left side of the line item.
7. Select the boxes in line with the desired time entries and click Invoice Entries.
You'll see the invoice update containing the newly added time entry.
Warning: When adding time to an invoice, if the "Group" setting is applied for the line item, the Quantity & Rate will be locked.
To adjust the quantity, you'll need to update the time entry.
To adjust the Rate, please use the WU/WD.
Caveat! If you have line items based on time entries and are grouped by service items on the invoice, you will still have the ability to adjust the rate field. This lets you override the default rates if there are specific rates for different clients.

Auto-Link Time Entries for Recurring Invoices
Auto-Linking Time Entries:
Canopy auto-links time entries to the corresponding service items, even if they pre-date the invoice. This helps invoice amounts and line items stay as accurate as possible.
Double-check that time entries and recurring invoices have the same client and at least one matching service item. If it doesn't meet these criteria, it won't auto-link.
Additional WIP Report Column:
The Auto-link column in a client's WIP report shows if a time entry is scheduled to link to an invoice.
Toggle off the Show scheduled auto-link time option to hide these entries in the report to help you focus on important billing decisions and keep the WIP report clutter-free.
Editing Existing Recurrences:
You can even update existing recurrences and activate the auto-link time option. This applies to both new and previously created recurring invoices.
Once you enable this, any following time entries auto-link to invoices, which makes your process less hands-on.
Removing Service Items:
Note that removing a service item from a recurring invoice doesn't automatically remove linked time entries. Please take into account the impact on reporting when making these changes!
Time Entry Linking Process:
Time entries auto-link to the next outstanding invoice and link when Canopy creates the invoice. Through this process, the WIP report displays these entries, clearly showing the scheduled auto-link.
