Bill for partially completed tickets

When you need to bill a customer for a job that is taking longer than expected, you do not have to complete the ticket prior to billing. Send invoices for completed time and accumulated expense items without closing the ticket.

Track your time using an hourly service item, and send your customer an invoice for all completed time entries, and attached expense items, without closing or completing the ticket. Apply the partial billing feature to your service items to get started.

1. Navigate to the Customer Menu and select a customer from the list.

3. Create a new hourly service item.

Partial billing is only available for hourly service items.

4. Enter the required information for the Service Info and Billing and Rates sections of the service item editor.

Bill for partially completed tickets

1. Select Helpdesk > Add Ticket.
2. Enter a ticket title and confirm the hourly service item with partial billing is selected.
3. Add time entries or expenses to the ticket and save your changes.
4. Create and run a new billing batch, and select the hourly service item for which partial billing is enabled.
5. Select Generate invoices.

The completed time entries and expense items in the tickets associated with the selected service item are included on the invoice. The ticket remains open, and the completed time entries are marked as billed within the ticket.
