# Making a working slip

A slip corresponds to a task or a small series of tasks which eventually become line items on an estimate or invoice. Slips can either be estimate slips or working slips, depending on the stage a project is at. Working slips represent the actual work you do for a client, a product you sell, a mileage, or an expense. Each working slip becomes an individual line item on an invoice.

If you send estimates to clients, then you can convert an estimate slip into a working slip. If you don't send estimates to clients, you may want to create a working slip right away and start working.

## To create a working slip

1. Select a client.
2. Select a project.
3. Choose Slips > New Working Slip.

   A new slip window opens.

4. Enter the appropriate information. Keep in mind the following:
   - In the Category pop-up menu, you may select a category for the slip. Categories are useful for grouping slips and keeping related slips together.
   - In the Kind pop-up menu, you may select what kind of slip you want to create.
   - If you have working slips that you want to send to a client in an invoice, choose Billable. If you want to create a working slip just for your reference, choose My Eyes Only. Billings Pro shows an eye in the slips list to clearly distinguish the slips marked as My Eyes Only.
5. Click OK.
