Activities
AddAdd

An activity slip is used to track the costs of a time-based task or service provided by your business, like consulting by the hour. You then use the information in the activity slip to bill the customer using a time billing invoice.

With the MYOB Invoice app, you can record activity slips with your phone – handy for jobs outside the office.

In order to use this feature you just need to do some one-off setup tasks in AccountRight. See Billing for time.

You can use the app to log your activity slips in two ways, either using the timer, or manually entering the amounts of time you work on activities.

Whichever method you use, MYOB Invoice will send your activity slip to your AccountRight file.

You can also see activity slips created or modified within the last 7 days in the Latest activities screen.

Plus you can link activity slips you create in the app to non-chargeable activities you've created in AccountRight (like internal admin work) and you can change your units of measure too.
