Scope of Work
Set out the month's deliverables, hours and cost for your client to accept, then turn it into an invoice.
A Scope of Work lists what you'll make for a client in a period, how long each piece takes and what it costs. Your client accepts or declines it in lmnts, and an accepted one becomes an invoice in one step.
Create one
Step 1: Open the client, choose Billing, then the Scope of Work tab.
Step 2: Under New Scope of Work, fill in the Title, Prepared for, Prepared by and Project overview.
Step 3: Under Categories, tick the ones this document uses. To add one, type a New category name and select + Add category. Categories are kept for the client's next documents.
Step 4: In each category, add deliverables with a description, Qty and Hrs per asset. lmnts adds the quantity to the description for you and totals the content creation time.
Step 5: Add an Ongoing management note and Management hours, the Out of scope of requests & ongoing work text, and the Hourly rate ($). The rate starts as the client's default rate.
Step 6: Select Create draft.
The finished document shows the total content creation time, the management time, the hourly rate, and Estimated Cost per month: all the hours times the rate.
Send it and get an answer
Step 1: Open the draft and select Send to client.
Step 2: The client opens it from Billing or from the notification, and selects Accept or Decline.
Step 3: Once it's accepted, open it and select Create invoice from this scope of work. You get a draft invoice with one line per deliverable (quantity, hours each and the hourly rate) and one for Creative & Strategic Management, for the same total.
