Project Rates let you define custom hour-, day-, and week-rates for any combination of services and resources on a per-project basis. Once set, every new or updated booking in that project picks up these rates automatically—no more manual overrides or billing surprises.
To add, edit or delete project rate schemes, you must be in a User Group with Edit access to both the Project and Sales modules
