About
WorkFerret (WF) is an application for tracking billable work done for different clients, generating invoices, and recording payments. It is essentially a special-purpose accounts receivable.
History
WF was originally written in MS Access 97, and ported to PHP as a MediaWiki extension sometime around 2005-2010. The code was first posted on GitHub in May 2015 (see #Links).
Features
- Ways of entering work done:
- Stopwatch for timing a work session
- Manually correct start/stop times
- Manually enter adjustments to work session total (add or subtract)
- e.g. to allow for distractions (minus), or forgetting to start the clock at first (plus)
- Manually enter start or stop times
- Manually enter total time in session
- Manually enter flat amount to charge
- Allows different hourly rates
- Keeps track of which rates are used for which clients (with client-specific description)
- Global rates also listed for all clients
- Invoice generation
- keeps track of which sessions have been invoiced to prevent double-billing for a session
- automatically totals session costs, doing whatever math is needed
- formats as HTML table (copy/paste into word processor document with letterhead)
Future
- Generate complete invoice (currently requires existing document to use as a template, copy/paste data from browser into doc)
- Sync with payments in FinanceFerret (using a pre-designated category or equity account)
