Invoices - Time Cards
Additional Resources
Watch the May 2021 Release Overview Webinar to learn more about the invoicing on the web. (go to 07:30)
This tab contains a list of all time cards currently on the invoice. From here you can include more cards, exclude cards, adjust cards, and review card details and history.
Permissions and Settings
To perform adjustments the accounting period must be open for adjustments.
The following people can make adjustments:
- Users with the cost center permission Create and Approve Invoices
- PMs for all projects on the invoice
Any adjustment to time cards resets approvals.
An /wiki/spaces/docworkspace/pages/10322008 determines whether zero dollar time cards should be shown on the invoice. If you need to hide/show on an ad-hoc basis then you should disable this setting and use a custom invoice template.
At the top of this page is a link to time cards you can potentially include on this invoice. The link shows cards in draft, rejected, and submitted status. This helps prevent revenue leakage.
Adjustments
Please see Time Adjustments to learn about the different adjustments we offer.
Adjusting a card resets approvals and displays the financial effect of the change on the Invoices - Invoice Summary page.
A history of adjustments can be found on Invoices - Adjustment History.
Include Cards / Credit Cards
Under Include Cards you'll find the options Include Cards to Invoice and Include Cards to Credit. Including and excluding cards resets approvals on the Invoices - Invoice Summary page.
Search for the cards you wish to include or credit.
To include cards they must be approved. If a card is grayed out then it isn't approved yet.
To credit cards they must already exist on an issued invoice. If a card is grayed out then it isn't on an issued invoice yet. You may want to simply Adjust it instead.
When you include a card to credit it defaults to a 100% refund. However, the card can then be written up or written down to whatever value you want. That means you could give a 50% refund, 25% refund, or a negative refund to increase the charge. Think of it more as a correction than a credit.

Search string | Projector searches in the following fields
|
| Do not include zero amount cards in this search | If the billing adjusted revenue for this card is zero, then don't show it in the results. |

However, you can only issue credits for things on a currently issued invoice. Tick this checkbox to cull out items that are not on an invoice or exist in time periods for which adjustments are closed. |

Exclude Cards
Tick the checkbox for cards you want to exclude then click Exclude Cards. Projector calculates the financial change of excluding the cards. Enter an explanation for audit trail purposes and then Exclude Cards.
Excluded cards can be included on a future invoice.
Blue Rate Symbol
The blue $ symbol indicates that current rates do not match the project rates. This could be because of a rate adjustment on the card or because the rate type, role rates, project rates, or rate card have been updated since this card was approved. To reset the time card and have it use the current rates use the revalue adjustment.
Suppressed Cards
The x symbol indicates that this card will not be shown on the invoice. This is driven by the system setting Automatically suppress display of zero-amount time cards.
If you want to show zero-amount cards you need to disable that system setting and recreate the invoice. If you want the ability to optional hide cards you can do so using a custom invoice template.
