Currently, there are 6 types of Contracts:

Each contract type has its logic of calculation.

However, there is a common logic defining how a contract type should be assigned to a Job Task.

In Jira, there is a hierarchy of tasks. The default one is Epic > Task > Subtask.

There are two rules that Jira Connector uses to calculate billable lines:

Jira Connector calculates lines only for Job Tasks that have a nonempty Contract Type field in them.
All subsequent tasks with Contract Type = None (empty) are calculated as part of the parent Job Task.

For example, let us look at the picture below:

Epic + Task1 + SubTask1 will be calculated as Time & Material Contract and there will be a Job Planning Line of type Billable created in Epic task.

All usage posted for SubTask4 will generate billable planning lines in this task.

Subtask2 will be calculated separately.

Task2 and SubTask3 will be calculated as a whole and a billable line will be suggested to add to Task2.
