Marking Projects as Billable

In a team environment, it can be hard to communicate when a project hits a point where it can be billed. This is especially painful when the project staff is separate from the accounting/invoice staff.

We designed Ronin to recognize that projects go through lifecycles, but we undershot it with just an “Active” and “Closed” state. We’re proud to say that we’ve introduced the concept of “Billable” projects. It’s simple: the team or staff involved in tracking hours and completing tasks in a project knows when it’s “done”. Instead of closing the project permanently, they can now mark the project as billable.

For the invoicing and accounting staff, they’ll be able to recognize this immediately when selecting projects to bill. These projects will show up emphasized in Ronin’s unbilled project selector. Unbilled expenses logged under a billable project will receive the same treatment.

Even if you’re a team of one, it can be helpful to use this as a way to flag completed projects. When invoicing time comes around (whether that’s weekly or monthly for you), it’s a breeze to pick out the projects that are ready for billing.

We think it’s a perfectly simple addition to Projects in Ronin that makes it much easier to manage larger amounts of Projects and Invoices.
