In FOLIO, the billable hours is the regular hours that was spent working on items of the folio's scope which can be billed or is capable of being billed. In association with the rate, they are an essential part of the revenues for consulting services companies.


The billable hours can either be:

  • Entered manually (see add, edit and delete billable hours)
  • Automatically computed based on the wage table and the billable ratio.



  • Based on the JIRA worklogs on which we apply the billable ratio.
    Will be driven by the member's logged work on the issues part of the folio's scope and within its time frame.


  • Based on the Tempo billed hours on which we apply the billable ratio.
    Will be driven by the member's billed hours on the issues part of the folio's scope and within its time frame.
    You just need to check the "Synchronise with the Tempo billed hours" in the Accounting tab of the folio's configuration.

 

Since most of the timesheets add-ons such as Tempo, populate the JIRA worklogs, FOLIO is fully compatible with these add-ons.
