Uh oh!

At the moment, the Billable Rate is defined as an hourly rate, which works well for companies that charge clients by the hour.
In my case, however, I charge based on an 8-hour workday.
What I currently do is divide my daily rate by 8 and enter the resulting hourly rate into Solidtime. This works fine when the division results in a value with no more than two decimal places. However, when the result has more than two decimal places, the final billed amount is slightly off because of rounding.
My suggestion would be to add a ratio/divisor to the Billable Rate.
The default value could be
1, preserving the current behaviour. In my case, I could set it to8, meaning that Solidtime would internally calculate:Billable Rate / 8This way, the original rate could remain the exact daily rate, while the division and additional decimal precision would be handled internally during the calculations. This should make the final billed amount considerably more accurate.
For example, instead of manually entering an approximated hourly rate:
Daily rate: 1000Hourly rate: 1000 / 8 = 125Solidtime would store the rate as
1000with a divisor of8and use the exact result internally.A possible workaround would be to increase the number of decimal places supported by the Billable Rate field to 3, 4, 5 or more decimals. However, I see this more as a workaround for specific cases rather than a proper solution for rates that are naturally defined per day or another number of hours.
