Hi,

Unfortunately GnuCash is not aware of time with respect to amounts on an 
invoice. The action field is just a free form field to help you express what's 
on the invoice. But the numbers are always just numbers. So if you want 
gnucash to calculate the proper total amounts on your invoice, you have to 
recalculate your hours to decimal, so you'd have to enter 1 hour and 30 
minutes as 1.5 hours. That is, convert the minutes by multiplying by 100 and 
dividing by 60.

Regards,

Geert
