The above was William Herrin's comment (quoting level fixed by me). Mike - please get mail software that does correct quoting. It's 2012, and proper quoting has been understood since the mid 80s. There's *really* no excuse for using software that can't get quoting and citing right. > Sure you can. How else do you determine what the software's going to > cost if you're not going to factor in development? You missed the point - having given customer #1 an invoice that included a line item for 1,432 hours of R&D at $221/hour, you're treading on thin ice if you present another customer an invoice that includes a line item for the same 1,432 hours of R&D (absent an agreement between the two customers to share the costs, etc). And if you've *collected* that $316,472 from the one customer, it's somewhere between sleazy and skanky to include that $316K in the costs that need to be amortized over the next N sales of the software.
