Your hours now arrive filled in, day by day
Every day arrives pre-filled from the assignment. Change the one that was different; the week total says whether anything moved.

A billing week used to be a single number, and that number was the only thing you could adjust. If the week added up but the days inside it didn't, there was no way to say so.

Your hours now arrive filled in, day by day

If you worked four hours on the Wednesday and made them up on the Saturday, the only way to say so used to be changing the week's total — and since the total hadn't moved, there was nothing to actually change. Every week now arrives with each day already filled in from your assignment: hours per day across your working days, less any public holiday or booked time off, laid out date by date. A week that went to plan still needs nothing from you; when one day was different, you change that day instead of restating the whole week.

Editing a billing week's hours by day, with the week total unchanged
Pre-filled from the assignment. Touch the day that was different, and nothing else.

Every day is yours to correct, including ones your assignment doesn't schedule — worked a Saturday, or a public holiday? Type over the zero. And rearranging a week no longer interrupts your client: if the days move but the total doesn't, nothing they owe has changed, so the week simply saves — no approval request, no clock running. Where the total does move, it goes to them exactly as it did before, now showing which day it was. Invoices don't change either way: still one line per week, still one total. How hours are calculated.

Invoices are grouped by project, with your own reference

Every invoice — hours or expenses, on screen and in the PDF — now groups its lines by project, then by the person doing the work. Your own reference for that project, the PO or SOW number you maintain, sits on the project heading where AP looks for it. The arrangement stays the same every month whether the invoice covers one project or five: a project subtotal appears when there's more than one, and doesn't when there's only one, since restating a total underneath itself was never useful. The spreadsheet export is unchanged — one row per line, project, reference, assignment and consultant as columns — so it still filters and pivots the way it did.

Both sides see the same arrangement: the firm that raised the invoice, and the client paying it. A conversation about a line is a conversation about the same line.


Also shipped

  • A day that is both a public holiday and booked time off is now deducted once rather than twice. Weeks with such a day were billing less than they were worth.
  • Hours are whole numbers throughout. Assignments have always been set in whole hours per day, and adjustments now match.
  • In Reports, a consultant's name is now a filter, the same as a project or a client already was.
  • Reports group by status as well as by client, project and consultant — pending, adjustment requested, approved, auto-approved, rejected, ready to invoice, invoiced — and clicking any of them filters to it.
