Units Hub

Use the Units hub in the desktop application to set up and maintain units that you use to bill non-labor expenses at a flat rate.

For example, you might set up units for goods or services, such as lab tests or survey crews that you bill at a flat rate.

You set up cost and billing rates for units to use with accounting, timesheet, and billing applications. Units are similar to expenses posted through cash disbursements, journal entries, and accounts payable vouchers. However, unlike those transactions, when you bill a unit, you can show both a quantity and a rate on your invoice.

You can also use units to reclassify previously costed expenses from overhead accounts to projects. For example, a company can use units to recover some of the expense associated with reproductions. The paper supply and toner for the copier are expensed to an overhead project and indirect account number. Using units allows you to specify an account to debit and an indirect expense to credit. This creates a debit entry against the regular type project and a credit entry against the overhead type project.
