I got two questions in my head when reading your postings:

a) Why don't you store the amount of money (hours spend times hourly rate) ?

b) Does it make sense to add the unit (variable) price to each logger entry and if yes, can you make sure you have project defaults that can be overwritten when actually entering the unit ?

I eventually decided to make new variables/units for each hourly rate. The reason I did this is that we want to track both the number of hours spent, and the rate we're charging clients.

It might make sense to add the price to logger entries, but I'm not sure if that's the best idea design wise. If this becomes more of an issue with other people, perhaps someone will scratch that itch. For now, I'm going to live with it the way it is.

Thanks for your thoughts, Malte!
