If you want the User to record time on tasks that are typically billed at a flat rate, you can set up a Service/Activity Code to accommodate this need.  Go into File Maintenance Manager and choose TOOLS, Manage Codes.  Choose to Show Codes for Service/Activity Codes. Once the list of Service/Activity Codes is displayed, click NEW to set up your new Code.  An example is a code to represent a flat fee charge for “Incorporation.”  If you want the Timekeepers to record their time but have that time charged at a flat fee of $500.00, you would set up the Service/Activity Code as shown:
