Add lines and comments to T&M invoice?

Is there any way to add some extra lines to a T&M invoice?

For example, if I compute the T&M and there is one hour on next week's payroll, I'd like to be able to just add the one line of labour to the invoice so that I can send it to the client (without waiting until we do the final compute for payroll which could be up to two weeks away).  I realize Sage 100 Contractor will not mark the uncomputed payroll hour as billed (which is unfortunate), but that is something we could go back after payroll and change.

I'd also like to be able to add some comments on the invoice as well.  Mycurrent workaround for that is to add the job "Notes" field to the invoice at the top.  Unfortunately this only allows me to make comments at the very top of the invoice. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Aloha - A couple of ideas come to mind.

    For the Comments, I'm assuming you want to add a note to a given line item on the T&M Invoice.  If that's the case, could you add the note to the Job Cost record itself and then modify the T&M Report to include Record Notes (sorry, I'm not an expert at Report Writing).

    For the labor that you'd like to bill for in advance of final payroll compute, the only thing I can see doing is to enter a Job Cost record directly at 6-3.  Note:  Entering job cost records here is NOT something I typically recommend, as it can certainly throw your Job Costs vs. General Ledger reconciliation out of wack of you're not careful.  You would be completing the top portion of the Job Cost entry (do NOT put an amount in Cost Amount), and completing the Employee information on the Employee/Vendor/Equipment tab.  On the T&M tab you'd complete the Billing Quantity and the Billing Amount (click on Override Billing Amount to open the quantity field).  After compiling your T&M invoice and posting to A/R, you would then need to go back in and void out that particular job cost record.  After computing the actual payroll that includes the time you've already billed for, you'd want to go into the Job Cost record created during compute and mark that particular record as "Billed" on the T&M tab so it doesn't appear on the next T&M billing.

    Of course if there are a number of payroll hours you'd like to bill in advance this can be cumbersome, but the only "workaround" that I can suggest.
