Until earlier this month, we could go to "New", "Weekly Timesheets", select our consultants, and then update hourly rates by client/project. A lot of manual work, but doable. Now the interface has changed and there is a weekly view where you can click on a consultant time entry, and the billing rate field is displayed but the field is uneditable. We are a consulting firm where rates differ by consultant by client/project. How do I edit the billing rate as we cannot send invoices at all until these can be updated?
For those that have experienced same, I reached out to QBOnline help yesterday via chat. I spoke to a QBonline customer service rep, who in turn, transferred me to a QBtime resource, who confirmed that the time product cannot accommodate different billing rates by consultant by client, which I knew. I was then transferred to the QBOnline team. They in turn transferred me back to the QBTime team even after I asked them not to. During a three hour timeframe yesterday, I spoke with no less than 7 QBOnline and QBTime customer services reps - twice I told the QBOnline team that this was a QBOnline issue, not a QBTime issue. I eventually called and they could not answer the question - so 8 customer service reps in total and still no solution. Something changed and Intuit cannot seem to identify or resolve the issue. Hoping someone in this forum can assist - as I risk abandoning the product.
I appreciate the screenshot and detailed information you've shared, @dsafran.
I also recognize your efforts in contacting our QuickBooks support team to resolve your issue. Don't worry, I'm here to help update the billing rates in a weekly timesheet in QuickBooks.
Based on your attached screenshot, I can see that the timesheet you're trying to update the billing rate was already approved and locked in your QuickBooks Time. To be able to update the billing rate, you'll have to unapproved the timesheets. Here's how:
Once done, go back to the Time Entries page and update the billing for the specific team member. After that, approve the timesheet and export them again to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Just in case you want to enter weekly timesheets directly in QBO, you can check out this article for more guidance: Track and manage QuickBooks Time in QuickBooks Online.
Come back to this post if you have other concerns or follow-up questions about this. I'll be around to provide further assistance.
I am fairly new to this job. When I log into 2022 Quickbooks Desktop Pro Plus, I do not see an Approvals menu.
The problem I am having is after I enter the attorney's time, when I create an invoice, not all (but some) of the entries are showing at $0.00 per hour.
I have tried repeatedly to go through the Chat feature, but am getting no help. Please see if you have any answers to this specific problem. Thanks very much.

Hi!
Your instructions got me where I needed to go to adjust the attorney billing rate. The prior secretary added the attorney as a Vendor and add his time that way. When I go to adjust the hourly rate to a flat hourly rate or add each one individually, Quickbooks tells me that it isn't supported in this version of Quickbooks. The hourly rate was initially set so I'm not sure why I can't change it.

Thanks for coming back to this thread, @TO22.
Let me provide some information as to why you're unable to use billing rate levels in QuickBooks Desktop.
Please note that the option to set up custom rates for service items performed by particular employees or vendors is available only in the Contractor, Professional Services, and Accountant editions. If you receive a warning message that says "The transaction or list item you are trying to create is not supported in this version of QuickBooks", it means that your edition does not support this feature.
If you want to learn how to set up custom rates, you can refer to this article: Set up custom rates or prices for employees, vendors, or customers.
Generating reports is a great way to get an overview of how your business is doing. You can read this article to learn how to create and analyze reports: Reports.
If you have any further questions or concerns about setting up custom rates, please do not hesitate to leave a reply below. I'm here to assist you.
