I love the line item feature for invoicing: X items @ flat rate, and would find it so very helpful to have a similar ability when creating estimates also.

There’s a flat rate for line items on estimates as well. You can already do this…

Pardon, I guess what I am asking for is the multiplier, so that I can say ‘4 widgets at $25 = $100’ instead of saying ‘4 widgets at $100 total’...Does that make sense?

You can actually do that using hours / rate…but I see where the disconnect is happening.

When designing Cashboard I keep in mind most people use it for hourly work. Therefore I have the estimates / project tasks labeled as hourly rate / hours. Of course this translates into quantity / price per when invoicing…so perhaps I should take another look at unifying everything.

This might be a disconnect some people have with the app. Anyone else care to chime in?

It makes sense to me as it is, but for better clarification perhaps a labeling change would make sense. Instead of ‘hourly rate’ it should be labeled just ‘rate’?

Why not call it “price per unit” and “amount”? (not sure about the english translation)
If you charge a fee per hour that would be: price per unit = 50$ per hour, amount = 10
If you charge a flat fee that would be: price per unit = 450$ per item, amount = 1

Pretty simple but more powerful. Does that make sense?
