Cost Planning
Users who are billing admins can add a cost for each task when scheduling.
Tracking Billable Hours
Tracking billable hours is essential for converting planned work into billable tasks that reflect actual costs. In TeamBoard TimePlanner, you can plan, mark, and log billable work to generate precise cost calculations.
Define Billable Tasks in the Schedule
Navigate to the Schedule and follow the same steps when planning tasks:
In the Planning dialog > Mark the task as Billable.
Select the appropriate Rate Type to determine how the cost will be calculated.
Log Time to Track Actual Costs
Accurately logged hours ensure that costs reflect the real work performed. You can log time in three ways:
Option 1: Log Time in the Time Log Section
Option 2: Log Time from a Jira Work Item Details
Option 3: Log Time using the Start Timer
→ Time logged here is automatically linked to your rates, helping you monitor billable vs. actual cost performance.
