Fields to be filled in:

  • Name (required)

  • Customer (required – you can search for or create a new customer)

⚠ Setting up a billing customer is an additional feature that isn't enabled by default.


Billing & Budget

Billing settings

By default, the project uses the customer's billing setup. If necessary, you can also set up invoicing settings on a project-by-project basis.

Budget

  • The budget can be set as a one-time or monthly budget.

  • In budgeting, you can use an hour cap and/or a billing cap in euros.


Participants (optional)

  • Assign assignees and teams

  • If you want load monitoring, fill in the time interval and the field "Total hours."
