Resource Rates & Billable Items
Track project profitability by assigning buy/sell rates to resources and billable items—automatically calculate margins or customise costs for greater billing flexibility.
Sonderplan allows you to assign Buy and Sell rates to both resources and billable items within a booking. This enables powerful financial tracking, cost recovery, and margin visibility for every scheduled job.
Booking Resource Rates
Each resource on a booking—such as rooms, freelancers, or equipment—can have buy and sell rates applied based on different time units; Hourly, Daily, Part Daily, Weekly and Fixed.
These rates are usually pre-defined in the resource setup, but can also be overridden at the time of booking. Sonderplan automatically calculates the cost and charge based on the booking duration, saving you time and improving accuracy.
- Buy Rate: What it costs your business to provide the resource (e.g. freelancer rate, room overhead).
- Sell Rate: What you charge the client for that resource.
- Profit / Margin: The difference between buy and sell, displayed per resource and across the whole booking.
You can select from predefined resource rate’s, Service Rates or enter custom values per booking, depending on the agreement with the client.
Booking Billable Items
in addition to resources, Sonderplan allows you to add Billable Items—such as file transcodes, client catering, or consumables—to any booking.
Each item can have its own buy cost, sell price, and quantity.
The system calculates the total margin across all billable items and adds it to the booking’s profit summary.
Frequently used items can be saved as global billable items for fast reuse. This makes it easy to track additional revenue sources and capture more accurate project costs beyond just time and space.
