Currently the "Rate" field cannot be interacted with when preparing invoices for approval.
Many invoices need to be split across multiple cost centres with quantities required on each line. Without this field enabled, off-platform calculations are unnecessarily required. This field already exists but is currently not enabled for input.
Enabling this field will save time entering units and rates on invoices that need to be spread across multiple cost centres.
Example:
Invoice for 40 hours at $80/hour.
13 hours on CC 001
5 hours on CC 002
12 hours on CC 003
10 hours on CC 004
The disabling of the rate field means I must manually calculate 80x13, then again for 80x5, then again for 80x12, then again for 80x10.
Over the course of thousands of invoices this is highly unnecessary additional effort when a field exists in the interface that could handle the calculation with very little processing power

Ok. I have added to future Roadmap.
If I think of anything in the meantime I will let you know.
thanks
Correct, I have only the qty and unit rate available
And so you don't have the 'Amount' for each of these line items, you just
have the Qty and Rate?
I just want to be 100% clear, sorry.
Cheers
Andrew
Thanks Andrew,
Unfortunately doing so would increase the effort required rather than reduce it. These are labour hire firms with numerous workers coming and going.
It also occurs on items bought in bulk for the job across multiple CCs, not just labour items.
Thanks for the suggestion Paul.
While I check that possibility out, would you consider entering timesheets
for these contractors and having the invoices automatically generated as an
RCTIs? or does that not fit this particular use case?
cheers
Andrew
