One Click Invoicing (OCI)

Introduction

You can see, edit and copy invoice templates to use in One Click Invoicing in the System administration -> Finance -> One Click Invoicing.

Description

One Click Invoicing (OCI) helps you streamline your invoices and secure high quality in your TimeLog data. You activate OCI in the top by clicking the grey slider. Then you can see and edit the basis setup of the default invoice templates that TimeLog has created for you. An invoice template decides how information from your projects is grouped on your invoices.

Default templates in TimeLog

Contract/Main task: This template creates one invoice per contract and groups your registrations per main task for each contract and the hourly rate allocated to the employees. This means that if you e.g. have different hourly rates on your employees working on the same task, you will see two lines on your invoice
Customer/Task:
This template creates one invoice per customer across the customer’s projects and groups time registrations per task and mileage registrations on a separate line
Employee/Time registration:
This template creates one invoice per project and groups the time registrations per employee, where each single registration is added to an invoice line
Project/Payment/Contract:
This template creates one invoice per project and groups payments for each contract on a separate invoice line
Project/Employee:
This template creates one invoice per project and groups registrations for each employee on a separate invoice line. Mileage registrations are added on a separate invoice line

For each template you can read and edit:

Template name
The text that is added to the Invoice header on your invoice
The text that is added to the Invoice message on your invoice

The texts in Invoice header and Invoice message are automatically inserted on your invoices. If you do not fill them out in the template, they are filled out with the information from the invoice settings on your projects.

For each template you can see how it is build and which texts that are added to the invoices automatically. You have the option to edit the texts and use pre-defines tags that take information from the system and adds it to your invoices automatically.
