What this feature does
When enabled, fixed fee time entries:
Do not appear on the final invoice PDF sent to your client
Remain visible internally in LeanLaw for tracking and reporting
Are still billed through your normal workflow
This is especially helpful if you want to:
Track time against fixed fee matters
Avoid showing detailed time entries to clients
Eliminate the extra step of marking fixed fee time as billed
