Bill the hours somebody logged

Hours are recorded the same way everywhere in DealJourney (Timesheet). What is specific to a job is turning them into money.

On the Lines tab, pulling the hours sweeps every hour logged against this visit that has not already been billed somewhere else and turns each one into a line. You are told what happened in so many words: Added {{count}} lines for {{hours}} hours, worth {{amount}}.

Nothing is swept twice. An hour that was already billed elsewhere is left alone and counted separately: {{count}} entries were already billed elsewhere, so they were left alone. If there is nothing waiting, you get There are no unbilled hours logged on this job right now.

When an hour has no rate the pull stops and asks rather than guessing: Some of these hours have no hourly rate. Give one to use for them. Give it Rate per hour and Add the hours. Used only for the hours that carry no rate of their own. The rest keep theirs.

That refusal is deliberate. Pricing somebody's afternoon at zero because the rate was missing is the kind of mistake nobody notices until the invoice has gone out.

One line per entry, not one lump. Each line remembers which recorded hour it came from, which is what makes billing the same hour twice impossible. It does mean a week of work is several lines rather than one, and you can edit their descriptions like any other line.

Pulled lines count as delivered, so they are billed with the rest when the job reaches the status that invoices: Lines, and what actually gets billed
