Non-Billables in Grouped Time Entries

If using grouped time entries created by AutoTime, you can mark the individual entries as non-billable in Smokeball Billing through the Time/Fee Details window.

• Under the Time & Fees table, the Billable column will have an information icon to indicate that the fee consists of items that are billable and non-billable.

• By default, non-billable fees are not shown on an invoice and this now includes the non-billable items of a grouped fee.
• If the user clicks on the Show non-billable fees option on the draft invoice screen, the invoice will show both the billable and non-billable items of a grouped fee.
