Receivables from client
This is the summary of how much your client will pay you.
You can add a receivable by pressing the "New receivable" button and choosing the receivable type:
- "Flat rate"—if you just need to enter the amount of a receivable without entering volumes and rates.
- "Unit based"—if you have to enter the volume and rate for calculating the price.
- "CAT log based"—if you have fuzzy matches logs generated by CAT tools and want to calculate discounts for each type of match.
It will open the New receivable page (the data type to fill in will be displayed in accordance with the type of receivable you've selected):
Entered receivables can be edited, cloned, and deleted by pressing the corresponding buttons:
Note: If the receivable has been already invoiced, you cannot delete it without deleting the invoice first.
Invoice receivables
If you are issuing a separate invoice for each project, you can create invoices directly from this section.
To do so, select the receivables you need to invoice and press "Invoice selected":

Payables to vendors

Each payable can be managed by pressing the "Clone", "Update", and "Delete" buttons.
Note: If the payable has been already invoiced, you cannot delete it without deleting the invoice first.

Project finances summary
Project finances summary is based on the receivables entered on the Finances tab of the project and payables entered in the assigned jobs within the project:
A project profit margin is calculated according to the formula:
Profit margin=(100 * (Σ(receivables) - Σ(payables)) / Σ(receivables)
Free of charge project
If you are not going to charge your client for this project, you may mark it as free of charge by ticking the "Free of charge" checkbox while creating or updating a project:
It will hide the Receivables from client section, and you won’t be able to enter receivables. You can revert it by unmarking the "Free of charge" checkbox.
Note: The "Free of charge" status is made to differentiate free projects from projects without receivables (for example, you forgot to enter receivable).
Thus, you will easily find the projects with missing receivables. If the project is "Free of charge", then it has no missing receivables.
