In the application preferences, it is possible to define a currency. It is even possible to define an exchange rate between currencies. But I have not found how to apply an hourly rate, for example. The objective would be to calculate the cost based on the time spent by a project user. To be developed or existing functionality? Thank you for your answer in advance. ---
