Timers can be applied to items and products to help track cost and charge clients for time spent in production of the item. This time can be related to graphics, press, finishing, etc.



The Cost Override and Price Override toggles set whether or not the timer will be included in the item cost/price.

  • If Cost Override and Price Override are set to No, the timer rate will keep a timer record but it will not charge for this on the item.
  • If Cost Override and Price Override are set to Yes, the timer's cost and price will be calculated into the pricing of the item.


Note: If Estimated Graphics Time has been added to an item, the Bill Estimated Graphic Time toggle will need to be set to No before the actual graphics timer cost/price can be applied to the item.
