How Do I Adjust Net Bill Amounts?

In Billing Review, the net bill amount carries to the invoice. When generating a billing record, the net bill amount calculates depending upon:

Contract Type	Net Bill Amount
Hourly	Billable¹ + Expenses²
Hourly	Adjusted Net Bill Amount
Hourly with Billing Schedule	Schedule Bill Amount (including expenses)
	Schedule Bill Amount + Expenses²
	Adjusted Net Bill Amount
Fixed	Billable¹ + Expenses² (up to the Contract Amount)
Fixed	Adjusted Net Bill Amount
Fixed with Billing Schedule	Schedule Bill Amount (including expenses)
Fixed with Billing Schedule	Schedule Bill Amount + Expenses²
Recurring	Recurring Bill Amount
Recurring + Expense	Recurring Bill Amount + Expenses
Recurring with Cap	Recurring Bill Amount (up to the Contract Amount)
Percentage	Percent of Contract Amount
Cost + Percentage	Net Bill Amount + Percentage³
Cost + Percentage	Adjusted Net Bill Amount
Cost + Fixed Fee	Net Bill Amount + Fee⁴ (up to the Fixed Fee)
Cost + Fixed Fee	Adjusted Net Bill Amount
¹ Sum of Bill Amounts for time entries included in the billing record. ² Sum of Charge Amounts for expense entries included in the billing record. ³ Percent x Billable Amount ⁴ Ratio of Contract Amount / Fixed Fee

You can make the following adjustments to the Net Bill amount:

Apply a discount to reduce the net bill amount. You can enter a dollar amount in the Discount field in the Billing Review grid.
Apply a retainer to reduce the net bill amount. Enter a dollar amount in the Retainer field in the Billing Review grid. You must exhaust the project retainer balance before you can apply a client retainer to a billing record.
Edit the Net Bill amount directly to increase or decrease the bill amount carried to the invoice.

Discounts and retainers can apply to any contract type. Web Suite includes this information on the invoice.
