Invoice item set to minutes is not saved correctly
When I add an invoice item and set the quantity to less than a whole hour and click Save Changes, the time amount that shows up on the invoice is different.
e.g I specify 0.15 hours in the quantity box and Save and it appears on my invoice as 0.09 hours!
If I edit the invoice item and set it again, it *is* saved correctly.
Also, when adding part-hour invoice items, if I type in 0.2 instead of 0.20 in the quantity box, FA saves that amount as 0.02.
It would be useful if there was the option to select Minutes in the quantity box to avoid confusion.

Inappropriate?Hi Ian
FreeAgent allow time values to be entered in either HH:MM format or decimal format. So, one and a half hours can be entered as 1:30 or 1.5. All time values, on the other hand, are displayed in HH:MM format. We plan on allowing this to be configured in the future.
We're not making the input format as clear as we should in the Invoice Item form, so we'll look at improving this.
In your situation you're entering a decimal value of 0.15 hours which FreeAgent interprets as 9 minutes, hence 0:09 is displayed. To enter a time of 15 minutes you should use a colon rather than a period, e.g. 0:15.
Similarly, if you entered 0:2 in the form FreeAgent will interpret this as 0 hours and 2 minutes, hence 0:02 is displayed. When you enter 0:20 this is interpreted as 0 hours and 20 minutes, hence 0:20 is displayed.
Does this make things a little clearer?
I’m happy

Aha - I get it now. As you say it's not very clear, but it does make sense. Thanks for the swift reply.
