Attaching Timesheets and Expenses to Invoices

You can choose to attach timesheets and expense items to invoices.  This is controlled by a setting on the client, contractors or provider as appropriate.  For example, on the Advanced tab for a client you will see:

It can be seen that you can control whether to include the version of the RSM InTime timesheet/expense and whether to also include any uploads associated with each item.  Defaults can be configured for your Agency and these values can be altered on each client if required.

Considerations

When you choose to attach "paper" attachments/receipts to an invoice you should consider the implication of doing so.  For example, some clients may receive group timesheets containing information for more than one contractor.  Before you attach such a document you should consider whether a contractor would be able to view information relating to other contractors.

Questions and Answers

Q) I don't want certain rates to be included on the timesheet attachment

A) You may wish to consider using the internal use only option on the pay element.  Any shift on such a pay element will not be displayed on the attached timesheet.  However, you should be aware of the following

  • This is only an option for how the timesheet is displayed.  It will not affect invoiced values.  Therefore there could be a mismatch between the value of the timesheet in the main part of the invoice and the attachment.
  • If your invoice consolidation option includes rate or shift information then it will still be displayed in the main part of the invoice.  This option has no effect on the actual invoice values and therefore cannot affect this part of the invoice.
