Time invoicing report question

[David Glick]

Thanks for the response, Derek.  I did look at the customer report, but I was 
uncertain as to what to do in the case when I'm asked to reprint an older 
invoice.  I assume that the customer report is a snapshot of the system at 
the time the report is generated, correct?  I was hoping to save everything 
needed to reprint an invoice at a later date, so I could avoid having to keep 
paper copies of everything (Timeslips is also lacking in this regard).  
However, if there's no better way, I can certainly attach the customer report 
to the back of each invoice.

Also, I generally work several projects for each client simultaneously, and 
some of them prefer that I separate different projects on different pages of 
the invoice for their internal tracking purposes.  Is it possible to break up 
an invoice by job, with subtotals?  If not, is there somewhere to get the 
fundamentals so I can create my own reports?  Or, better yet, a description 
of the data format so I can try to create a driver that will allow an 
external report writer to be used?


Thanks again for any  help,

David Glick
