One of the things that I am really missing in this tool (and other tools as well by the way) is a possibility to mark projects to be of the type 'fixed fee'. I think about 50% of our projects is fixed fee and it would be really great if we could a mark a project as fixed fee and put in the estimated hours and the fixed fee amount for reference.
In the time module, all records of a fixed fee project could then contain an amount of 'fixed' instead of a figure so those records can be still be marked as 'billed' but in reports it is clear that those hours are within a fixed fee project.
Is this something that we can expect in future releases? Or are we the only company needing this kind of functionality (I cannot image)?

For my twopence worth we'd love this feature too. Also, some way of marking billing more specifically... for example, we have ongoing projects that have maintenance retainers (fixed hours/month), plus stuff that's done on top of that... it would be nice to attribute hours to a specific pot.
We'd use the time-tracking a lot more I think with a couple of added toys :-)
We would also like the ability to note flat-fee project costs (and then we find the profit/loss by comparing the actual time entries/costs to the project's flat fee).
