Associating projects and tasks

Lesson 148 of 198 · 11 min

Associate a project with the contract line. Associate specific tasks and exclude others. Show a cost on an associated task becoming billable, and show a cost on an EXCLUDED task remaining non-billable. Associate a second project with the same line, and show the resulting billable position. THE ASSOCIATED-VERSUS-EXCLUDED TASK DEMONSTRATION IS THE LESSON. Two costs, identical except for the task, with different billing outcomes. Two rows, one difference — that is the shot. One contract line funding two projects is common with master agreements. The association is what makes billing work. Missing it is the most common "why can I not invoice" cause.
