Note: If the timesheet entries are billable, the Amount column will show what you are charging your customer, and most likely more than you are paying your supplier.

This report is usually created to get total hours. But if you bill your customers the same amount as you pay your suppliers, you can use the amount column for the total owed to your subcontractor.

Multiply the number of hours by the hourly rate you pay your subcontractor. Select + New. Then create a bill or write a cheque.
