The Relationship Between Rates, Billing & Timesheet

It is very important that you understand the relationship between project rates, project billing options, and users’ timesheets. Because the billing amount for a project is calculated based on the project rates and the time entered against the project by each member of the project team, you want to make sure that you set up the project effectively.
Remember that when you set up a project, you define the rates to be used for the project. You also assign a project team, associate rates with each team member, and specify billable and non-billable for each of the task.
