Billing a flat rate amount per day

CesarRodriguez

Hello,

Love the app but I need to bill for a flat daily rate irrelevant of worked hours that day.

When I choose this option seems like I can only get a prorated rate divided amongst different days that all add up to the flat amount.

Is this possible?

WorkingHours version: 2.9.8
Operating system: iOS

You can use an "earning adjustment tag" and set it to "= daily rate" and then set it to one work unit on a given day you want to charge that rate.
Does that work?

I came here to ask the same question and that worked perfectly! What a great app.

Wow! Yes, that worked!! You have no idea how many apps I installed and deleted in the past days looking for this feature! It even does the tag automatically if I choose to!

This app is so complete that I would gladly pay 3x its current price! My life just got so much easier at invoicing!

Thank you for your prompt response and awesome job development this tool!

Hi again Timo,

To solve that issue I added an earnings adjustment tag = 1400 (the daily rate) and titled it $1400. The WorkingHours app shows a clear amount due for those days in the summary view. The hours worked do not affect the daily total as intended.

After completing some entries and going to generate an invoice in SubTotal, I noticed that it creates many different line entries for "hours worked" with a total of $0.00. It also created a new numbered line for the adjustments. Creating a new line for those entries is confusing as hours worked should not affect the daily due amount. I don't see a way to filter these extra lines out. (see attached screenshot picture)

Do you have any suggestions? The purpose of this endeavor is to generate an automatic clear client invoice with a date and total $ due for that day. I don't need the client to see the hours clocked as that is irrelevant and private.

Thank you in advance!

Maybe you can send a screenshot of your export settings in WorkingHours?
I am not sure if it can be tweaked the exact way how you would like to see it.
There are so many different ways to create an invoice, most people have different requirements, so it's hard to cover them all perfectly.

I have the same request as Cesar- how to generate one line item in Subtotal when exporting from Working Hours a single earnings value for a given day (what I would call a flat fee). Not two lines, one of which as the dollar amount and the other has the description. (I'm using a Variable Earnings tag -ie, Earnings Adjustment = variable, rather than a fixed earnings adjustment, but the end result is the same.)
