Total Hours:

Billed Hours:

Hours that have been added to an invoice.

Billable Amount:

Calculated by multiplying the rate by the duration of the time entries. Ensure that Service Items on time entries align with those on invoice lines to prevent $0 billed amounts.

Adjusted Amount:

Calculated by taking the billed amount less the billable amount.

Billed Amount:

The amount that has been billed to the customer (For the most accurate reporting, ensure that time entries are linked to invoices). For example, unlinked time entries are excluded from reports, causing discrepancies in billed amounts. Ensure that Service Items on time entries match those on invoice lines to avoid $0 billed amounts.

Labor Cost:

Team member's hourly rate multiplied by the hours tracked. Missing costs in reports may occur if the team member's time cost is not added to the invoice.

Balance:

The amount owed by a customer.

Troubleshooting Discrepancies in the Profitability Report

Common Causes

  • Archived, Deleted, or Inactive Entries: Ensure all relevant entries are active and not archived or deleted, as these are excluded from most reports.

  • Unlinked Time Entries and Invoices: Link time entries to invoices and ensure Service Items match to avoid discrepancies.

  • Service Item Mismatches: Verify that Service Items on time entries align with those on invoice lines to prevent $0 billed amounts.

Best Practices

  1. Verify Data Linking: Ensure all time entries are linked to invoices and Service Items match.

  2. Check Entry Status: Confirm that relevant clients, invoices, and time entries are active.

  3. Review Report Filters: Adjust date ranges and filters to include all relevant data.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Zero Billed Amounts: Check Service Item alignment between time entries and invoice lines.

  • Discrepancies in Profitability Reports: Verify linking of time entries and invoices, and ensure no relevant data is archived or deleted.
