I've been trying to work out how to present my daily rate to clients on my invoices. They want a date per day I work (I don't charge by the hour as I get the same rate whether it's 2 hours or 18).

So I put each day as a Flat Rate charge, and I get a date - which is good, but the Qty field shows as 00:00, which is bad, because the wise-donkey Accounts departments of my esteemed clients are claiming that I didn't actually do anything. Or they simply sit on the invoice because 'it does not compute'.

I'd delete the field altogether, but I also do hourly billing for post production.

Is there a way of putting a dash in Flat Rate Qty rather than 00:00? Or N/A, or blank or something?

Why not use a Quantity slip? It takes numbers (like 1, 2, 3) which can be used to represent the number of days worked.

HTH,

Trying to conserve space and avoid fluff in the invoice. Using Quantity was my original way of doing this, but then I couldn't pin the date I did the work unless I used the comments - which added extra space.

I just want to click a box to pick the day I'm billing for, rather than click a box to enter a quantity. However, ON THE SAME INVOICE, I'd still like to bill 4 hours of editing on a particular day. I need to specify date worked, and sometimes the hours worked on that day.

All it requires is to put --:-- or N/A in the Qty field for flat rate. Why would a flat rate be 00:00? It just begs the question in Accounts departments (and I married an accountant).
