Save and reuse items and services

Save the things you bill for once — name, description, unit and default rate — then pick them when you write a Draft. Every line is still reviewed on the document, and changing a saved item never alters documents you have already issued.

An example library

Meridian Ventures Ltd. saves the services its Brands bill most often. Items are Organization-level, so both Brightline Design and Harbor Marketing can use them.

Save an item or service

  1. Open Items & Services or save from a lineAdd items from the library, or save a line you just typed in a Draft so it is available next time.
  2. Name and describe itThe name is what you will search for; the description is what the customer reads on the document.
  3. Set the unit and default rateFor example fixed, per day or per year. The default rate is a starting value for new lines.
  4. Choose the usual tax treatmentIf a tax profile normally applies, set it here so lines start correct. You can still change it on the document.

Use saved items in a Draft

Pick a saved item and the line fills in. Then review it in the context of this document: quantity, the rate for this customer, the description for this job and the tax treatment. Typed lines work exactly the same way — saving is a convenience, not a requirement.

Currency

A default rate is a number, not a converted price. If the document is in a different currency from the one you normally bill in, enter the correct amount for that currency. Hectile does not convert amounts.

Editing a saved item

Changes affect

  • Lines you add from the library after the change.
  • Nothing else automatically — existing Draft lines keep the values you reviewed unless you re-add the item.

Changes never affect

  • Issued invoices and estimates. Their lines are a snapshot taken at finalization.
  • Payment records or balances.
Scope

Items and Services describe what you bill for. Hectile does not track stock counts, warehouses, purchase orders or inventory valuation.
