Employee

This field displays if you use the Employee Realization Reporting feature and the unit was set up with the Employee-Specific Revenue check box selected (in the Units grid in Settings > Accounting > Units).

This field shows you the employee, if any, who is associated with the unit transaction.

To enable Employee Realization, you set the Enable Employee Realization by Employee option to Yes in Settings > Accounting > Labor Options.

Date This field displays the transaction date.
Show Math on Invoice If the Show Math on Bill setting is selected for a unit in Settings > Accounting > Units, this field displays a summary of the math used to calculate the billing extension for the unit transaction. The summary uses this format: Unit quantity label @ Billing rate. For example 17.0 Miles @ 0.31 indicates that the transaction has a quantity of 17 units and each unit is being billed at 31 cents.
Description This field displays the description that was entered for the transaction or billing insert.
Quantity This field prefills with the number of units entered for the original transaction. Change this number to reflect the number of units you want to release and bill.
Rate This field displays the billing rate that is entered for the unit in Settings > Accounting > Units. The billing rate is used to calculate the billing extension, which is the amount to bill on an invoice for the transaction.
Billing Extension This field displays the billing extension amount to bill on an invoice for the transaction. It is calculated by multiplying the billing rate in the Rate field times the number of units in the Quantity field.
Bill Click this button to save the changes you made on this dialog box and return to the Units tab. If you changed the number of units on this dialog box to bill only part of the transaction's total units, the original transaction is split, and you see two transactions in the grid on the Units tab of the Interactive Billing form. A new transaction has the portion of the units to bill with a Bill status. The original transaction retains its original status (before the release), and its number of units has been reduced to show the remaining units.
Cancel Click this button to discard any changes that you made on this dialog box and return to the Units tab in Interactive Billing form without releasing a portion of the units to bill.
