Expense and Consultant Methods

You can specify an expense and a consultant method for each project that you want to bill. These methods determine how Vantagepoint applies multipliers to charges on the invoice.

Specify the methods in the Expense and Consultants sections on the Rates tab of the Billing Terms form.

You can choose to bill:

  • All consultant and non-consultant reimbursable (or other) expenses.
  • Only non-consultant reimbursable expenses.
  • Only consultant reimbursable expenses.
  • No expenses.

You can bill consultant and non-consultant expenses using the same method or using a different method for each.
