Note: Tasks category items which are added with a Custom name to the template, will always be included in the invoices, regardless they are present in the corresponding billing reports or not. If the items are not present in the billing report, they will appear in the invoice with 0.00 quantity and total.

  • Description – this field is for additional internal information. (optional)
  • Unit – you specify the item unit that will appear in the invoice.
