Project RatesThe project rates screen allow you to easily specify user time and expense type chargeable rates on a per project basis.
Multiple time and expense rate sets can be applied per project with a priority order. This allows you to create different charging scenarios for different aspects of your project. For example, charge user time at different rates depending on the task, or charge user time at different rates depending on whether core time, extra time, or weekend work. |
What do I need to do next?All your existing project charge rates will have been copied from relevant time invoice rules you had setup into project time rate sets.
Select whether to create a default time and expense rate set for all new projects
If required, apply default rate sets to existing projects
Start using rate sets to manage project charge values for time and expenses

Invoice SchedulingSending your invoices out on time and the ability to forecast revenues is vital to the smooth running of your business.
To assist you with these core functions, and following a lot of feedback from our clients, we have greatly improved ProjectMinder’s invoice scheduling functionality.
There is an intuitive new user interface for invoice rules that enables you to drag and drop monthly billing values around the schedule. This is coupled with very flexible options to define the chargeable value of time and expenses.
