| ==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]]). As of 2017 I am porting it as a [[Ferreteria]] drop-in module.
| |
| ===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)
