Billed time printed on invoice

When looking at the invoice in Quickbooks, it shows me for example:

Qty 5.50

Rate 10

Amount 50 (Qty * Rate = 5.50 * 10) which is correct.

But on the invoice printout it shows:

Qty 5.30

Rate 10

Amount 50 

If you multiply 5.30 with 10, you will not get the amount 50. This is very confusing. Is there a way to print the time as 5.50?

@paul72 thanks for your message. Yes you are right. But the customer only sees the quantity as 5.30 printed on the invoice ... which makes no sense when multiplied with the rate.


I see what you mean - but, because of the colon separator rather than decimal point, I do read it was hrs:mins

 

As above, someone may come back with a simple tickbox to check/uncheck to convert to decimal but I think hrs:mins is the only option when you're using a time billing product/service.  When invoicing for goods the default is decimal.

 

The only workaround I can suggest (other than moving away from the linked billable hours) is to alter the invoice template to show Qty (hrs:mins) in the column header to make it clearer.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello Ykhwaja, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, so what every has been entered in on the invoice,  when you click on print or preview should be the same it should not have changed for you so the customer when they receive it sees the same as you. Could you send us some screenshots of it showing you the different amounts please so we can look into more for you.
