# 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.
