In
many businesses, the time employees spend on projects is
crucial to resource management,
project management, cash receipts and, basically, the bottom
line. Consultants, CPA's, lawyers and any other business
that bills clients for projects, expenses and time can increase
their efficiency simply by managing information in a more
effective way. Carillon's Time & Billing module allows
you to easily manage all aspects of billing for a project--from
producing reports on projects to billing clients and reimbursing
employees.
Time and expenses are easily entered. Employees can record
unlimited comments detailing chargeable and non-chargeable
time. The comments can be required, if desired by project
managers. Expenses can have required comments as well.
Expenses can also be billed to clients, if desired. Employee
reimbursement checks are easily produced through tight
integration with the ACCOUNTS PAYABLE module of Carillon.
Not only is TIME & BILLING
tightly integrated to ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, it is also integrated
with ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
After clients are billed, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE is updated
to show what is due. Of course, the GENERAL LEDGER is also
updated to reflect the appropriate balances.
If employees are working on a project
in several different billing capacities, Carillon's Time & Billing
module allows employees to be listed for projects at
different
billing rates. These rates can be changed mid-project,
if necessary.
Carillon's Time & Billing module
has many other useful functions. Client invoices can
be previewed on-screen,
so changes can be made before the final draft is printed.
Billing can be produced in summary or detail with user-defined
frequency. Time reports can be printed to show all time
and expenses associated with a particular project or a
specified employee.
