Adding Billable Charges

Overview

A Billing Specialist may want to create a Billable Charge manually for a number of reasons:

  • Invoicing a one-off item that's not in Bullhorn Time & Expense.
  • Billing an expense report, permanent placement, or supplemental charge such a drug screen.
  • Creating an invoice without a preceding billable charge.

This article contains information on how to manually create and edit billable charges.

These instructions refer to the default terms related to Billable Charges and may vary from how your system was configured.

Before You Begin

    When Pay & Bill saves an attachment, it assigns it a unique identifier. As a result, users may upload multiple files with the same name.
