Billable

The billable field determines if timesheet entries are included in invoices, budget calculations and statistics. The API supports filtering by this field.

Permissions

Two permissions control the billable field access:

• edit_billable_own_timesheet - allows editing own timesheets (default: Teamlead, Administrator, System-Admin)
• edit_billable_other_timesheet - allows editing other users’ timesheets (default: Teamlead, Administrator, System-Admin)

To hide the billable field, remove the corresponding permission from the user group.

Timesheet options

Users with billable permissions can choose between:

• Yes - timesheet is billable
• No - timesheet is not billable
• Automatic (default) - billable state is detected automatically

Configuration

The billable flag exists on three levels:

• Activity
• Project
• Customer

New entities are billable by default. Deactivate the billable checkbox for non-billable entities (e.g. internal activities).

Automatic detection

New timesheets use Automatic detection by default. The billable state is determined by checking:

• Activity billable flag
• Project billable flag
• Customer billable flag

A timesheet is only billable if all three entities are marked as billable. Users with edit_billable_own_timesheet permission can manually override this.
