i have been billing my mileage that i charge clients manually as a service. what a pain that was to open calculator figure out the total then go back in and create a service that said “mileage: ## @ $0.50” and putting the total above. this makes things much simpler.

i really like the 3 tab interface you show above. it is only one click to get to the service set i need. the dropdown box creates 2 clicks and the deal with qty 1 essentially being the flat fee set is a bit confusing. it could be explained to the user but then who reads the manual?

one last thing. as for my case (being mileage) it would sound weird to say “(3 at $0.50 each)” if you have a default parameter in the client editor like you do for the time based maybe you could designate “each”, “per”, etc with radio buttons? or actually i think “X @ $” is enough explanation.

Thanks for your interest and the feedback.

However:

-Allow the user to choose whether or not to show quantity when only 1 is selected (perhaps a pref or change to the template)

-Any chance we could get a catalog feature? Items could then be added from a pulldown in quantity, with prices already set as well as customizable per invoice

-I love this app a lot, but find it lacking that I can’t invoice for more than one service at a time.

Thanks =)

I still use Blinksale, which essentially uses the same model you have here, but always puts a “Qty” column in the final invoice regardless of flat-fee or hourly. Having a special case for quantity = 1 like you have here is a very nice touch.

I would use a poup menu and when choosing it, animate the bottom half of the window to show a custom UI for that choice.

I suppose I could have a rule in the invoice template that says if they have a quantity of 1 don’t show any kind of (2 of X at $5.00 per) inline note on the PDF invoice.
