Charge by the Hour

Track Decimal Quantities | Item Types | Inventory Overview

You can use service or non-inventory items to charge for services by the hour (or half-hour, quarter-hour, etc.).

To do this task:

1. Define an item or items in inventory for this purpose, such as Tailoring, Labor Charge, etc. making sure that S ervice or N on-Inventory is selected as the Item Type.

- Optionally, define a separate department for all service/labor charges and assign this department to the items you create. This will allow you to report on all service and labor charges by filtering on this department.

- The Price for the items should be the price to be charged per unit of time (hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, etc.).

2. When the item is listed on a receipt, enter the units of time to be charged for as the items sale quantity. For example, if you are charging by the hour, enter 1.5 as the Qty to charge for an hour and a half.
