# Billable Items

{% hint style="info" %}
Billable Items require billing features to be active in your StayOnHire account and that your account has the appropriate permissions to view, create, edit and delete billing data. Refer to [Activate Billing](https://docs.stayonhire.com/billing/pages/6GFzcrlovmNSl6WNeEBX#id-1.-activate) and [User Permissions](https://docs.stayonhire.com/billing/pages/6GFzcrlovmNSl6WNeEBX#id-3.-user-permissions) for more information.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Typical billable items in StayOnHire include:

1. Transport events (charge)
2. Stand downs (credit)
3. Damages (charge)
4. Re-fuelling (charge)
5. Cleaning (charge)
6. Other (charge)

The last listed option, "other" billable items also have additional functionality to:

* Charge once
* Recur the charge
* Be calculated as a flat value (i.e. 1 x $150.00); or
* Be calculated as a percentage of the invoice total

These types of billable items allow for both the most common types of billable items to be captured, but also the ability to enter more bespoke values, suach as environtmental levies or receurring percentage based charges.

## How it Works

Typical billable items allow users in the field to collect key information and enable our billing teams to action them at the invoicing level.

All billable items can be created from the 'Create' or ' Field actions' main menu buttons in the StayOnHire app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stayonhire.com/billing/billable-items.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
