Time & Materials Billing

Problem

In a Time & Materials project, it's not possible to apply just part of an 'on account' balance to the current bill.

This was a problem for one user who accepts a deposit at the beginning of the job, and then gradually draws down the deposit amount as the project progresses.

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

Include the entire 'on account' deposit amount as a credit, and then issue another 'on account' deposit for the remaining balance.

Solution

This problem is fixed in Goldenseal accounting software version 4.2. We now allow the amount to be editable in the 'on account' line, so you can adjust the deduction from the regular billing.

Technical Details

Programmer note-- code added in CItemizedTandMTable::CellIsEditable, plus several other changes in CItemizedTandMTable.
