Q: How does Mosaic determine if a project or time entry is billable or non-billable?

Mosaic fetches projects and time entries data from Deltek Vision.

In Deltek Vision, Charge Type values are defined at the project level and inherited by all time entries associated with it. Mosaic maps Deltek Vision Charge Type values to its own Billable field as follows:

To mark a project and its time entries as billable, change the Project Charge Type to Regular. To mark them as non-billable, change the Project Charge Type to either Overhead or Promotional.

Please note that only Posted time entries have a Billable status, while all Unposted time entries are considered Non-Billable.
