==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)
 
==Technical==
 
* [[/tables]]
 
==Links==
 
* '''Repository''': WorkFerret is now part of the '''{{l/wooz|Greenmine}}''' project
 
* [[wooz:WorkFerret|portfolio page]]
