Service can be “Hourly”, not just “fixed rate”

Video of me walking through the problem:
Currently master services can only be set up as a fixed rate. Requiring manually changing the “qty/hr” box to have invoice generate the correct total.
If a service could be set up as hourly, when completed, it would pull the clocked time into the “Qty/hr” and multiply by the hourly rate and generate an invoice with the accurate total.
Yes this creates some risk, what if time is inaccurate. But with some explanation to field crew about importance of accuracy on clocked time, plus human oversight by reconciling the DB and invoice before charging card or sending the invoice for payment, the risk is removed and is still far better than the downside of all the manual entry we currently go through to change jobs and invoices.

I agree with this. It would also be helpful for spring and fall clean ups. Where some times we bill the client per hr on site. Granted not all of them exceed our minimum but would be nice to have it so we don’t have to do all the calculations everytime.

Hourly (TBD) Pricing Option for Estimates

Members have requested the ability to charge based on actual time worked by including a “TBD” or hourly pricing option on estimates. This would allow teams to provide flexible pricing when job duration is uncertain, rather than requiring a fixed rate upfront. This functionality would support workflows where final pricing is determined after job completion based on time spent.
