Configuration Options
The settings modal offers two primary display toggles:
1. VAT Setting
Controls whether monetary figures in the balances list include or exclude Value Added Tax (VAT):
- Excl. VAT (Default): Displays all unbilled amounts net of VAT. This is recommended for financial reporting and matching raw billables.
- Incl. VAT: Displays balances with the relevant VAT applied, helping you see the estimated gross invoice totals at a glance.
2. Currency Setting
Controls which currency is used when displaying amounts in the table:
- Client's currency (Default): Displays unbilled balances in the client's own currency (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP).
- Local currency: Converts all balances into your firm's default base currency (e.g., ISK) using current exchange rates, enabling easy comparison and unified totals across multi-currency clients.
Saving Settings
- Select your preferred options for VAT and Currency.
- Click Save.
- The balances list refreshes immediately to reflect your chosen display preferences.
Note: Balance table settings are stored per user account and do not alter the actual project billing rates, invoices, or financial data in Manor.
