If you are using Simply Accounting Pro, you can keep track of 
the time you and your employees spend on various tasks or 

activities, and can create sales invoices based on the time spent. 
To do this, you will:  

■ 

Create a service activity item for each activity you want to 
track.  

■ 

Record the time spent. 

■ 

Invoice the customer.  

1.  In the Inventory and Services window, add a record for each 

activity you want to track. Be sure to:

when filling out sales invoices.

minutes but can be measured in hours or minutes, check 
the Unit Is Related To Time box, then fill in the

If you choose to charge a flat fee for an item, note that 
Simply Accounting calculates the flat fee by multiplying 
a number of units by the price of the item. If you have 
entered the flat rate as the price on the Pricing tab, you 
must still enter a number in the Flat Fee field on the 
Time and Billing tab to have the amount recorded 
correctly on the time slip. Be sure you have entered a
