Quantities the office assigns
Recording a charge nobody on site can, such as equipment hire, against a project directly from the office.
Some charges nobody on site ever records — four weeks of base-station hire, a monthly service fee. This is where the office enters those instead, on the project they belong to.
Assigning a quantity
Open the project and find Quantities assigned by the office, underneath its rate table.
- Choose the Line this charge is billed against — one of the project's own item lines. Only lines the project actually prices are offered, because assigning a quantity against one it has no rate for would produce a charge nothing can price.
- Enter the Quantity.
- Give it a Date so the charge lands in the right period.
- Add a Note if it helps — "Hired 1–28 Sep" — and press Assign.
A worker never sees these, and a client never signs for one on the day — a docket records what happened on site, and this is deliberately not that.
Once it is invoiced
A quantity that has gone out on an invoice shows Invoiced in place of a remove button and cannot be deleted. That protects the export's own frozen line from ever naming a charge that no longer exists behind it — reverse the export first if the quantity was wrong, then fix it and send again.
