A significant enhancement to our hugely popular time & expense list application to make it the perfect tool for paying contractors who are paid on a check, voucher or invoice basis was delivered today including:

• Ability to group results by name or by name and time vs. expenses (select “group by” followed by “Name (Type)” from column personalization menu). This displays the total cost in both original / incurred or consultant home country currency (ORIG TOTAL COST column) as well as in your company’s currency (TOTAL COST column) for each individual, split into time vs. expenses. It also displays the total hours worked during the selected period and in case of expenses the total quantity of expenses if they are all for a single unit of measure. If you group by name and not by type (time vs. expenses) then the total cost of time & expense combined is displayed for each person, but not the total hours or quantity of expenses because the units of measure are not compatible
• Ability to create a contractor invoice directly from the report. Select a row and click on the new “Invoice” link just below the activity title and select either “Create Contractor Invoice” or “Add to Existing Claim” from the menu. iBE will take the total hours from the selected timesheet and convert them into a vendor invoice or expense in iBE with quantity = number of hours (split by day), unit price = agreed pay rate and total amount = total amount you are paying that contractor. When you re-run the T&E list report for “both” time and expenses you will see the timesheet entries and not the generated invoice entries to avoid double-displaying the contractors’ hours
• Print contractor invoices. Select a row either an expense or a timesheet entry which has been previously converted to an invoice to print it out as a PDF, similar to how expense reports are printed

We will be delivered a “mass-print” option and further tweaking the time it takes to load this popular report as well as building enhancements for clients who pay contractors via payroll and wish to calculate their pay and expenses to send to a connected payroll system
