The multi-line invoice will be filled with values from the Task and the following fields are populated:

 

For Progress Task Qty

Qty = Actual Qty; The actual hours spent on the task. You can change the Qty value while in the invoice but it does not update the Task's Actual Qty field.

Rate = Task Charge Rate

Prior Claim = Sum of previous progress claim invoice(s) ex Tax amts on this job & task (i.e. < current Claim #)

Ex Tax = (Rate * Qty) - Prior Claim

 

For Progress Task Percent

Qty = % Done; percentage completed in decimal. You can change the Qty value while in the invoice but it does not update the Task's % Done field.

Rate = Task Charge amount

Prior Claim = Sum of previous progress claim invoice(s) ex Tax amts on this job & task (i.e. < current Claim #)

Ex Tax = (Rate * Qty) - Prior Claim
