Converting Hours to Days for Billing in OpenAir

Using OpenAir billing rules, you can configure the rules to convert hours recorded on timesheets into days in order to invoice a customer by number of days.

Within a time billing rule, there is a section for Rounding Rules. This is where you can define the conversion of hours to days based on the terms of the contract/SOW.

If the contract dictates the customer will be billed for one day regardless of the number of hours worked within a day, set the rounding rules as below. In this example, there is a $1 rate card with a billing rate multiplier of $1,145, which is the daily bill rate.

Important to note in rounding rules:

• The first column is greater than
• The second column is less than or equal to
• Be sure to select the checkbox to create a daily charge

The below example allows you to bill in half day increments. If the number of hours is less than or equal to 4, the rule creates a charge for 50% of a day. If the number of hours is greater than 4, a charge for 100% of a day will be created.

*Please note these rules may not be compatible with billing rules created from NetSuite Sales Orders.  Please work with your NetSuite Administrator to understand complexity.
