Let’s open Clerk Invoices app, navigate to the November 2020 and build monthly time report:

We see that the projects “Bankly Mobile App” and “Bankly Desktop App” that belong to one client have uninvoiced hours. So we mark them by ticks and create invoice with these projects:

Creating Invoices

Now we have the invoice with two time and materials items. Every item has a time filter by the project that we have selected on the previous step. So only the time that belongs to these projects will be imported from Jira. And Invoiced Dates field defines the date range that will be used for import.

Let’s import time for these projects and set hourly rates:

Let’s assume that we have bought stock images for the client. And the client has made an upfront payment for November. Let’s put these amounts in fixed price items of our invoice:
