You can edit a timesheet field, but the field type and location options are not editable after you've initially created the field.
A Timesheet Row field shows on the left side, as a column. The value is entered once per timesheet row.
If needed, an item can be added to a timesheet twice. For example, if a user is tracking time on a task for the assigned number of hours as billable, but then goes over, they can add the same task a second time and the hours for the second row can be tracked as non-billable.
A Timesheet Entry field shows the field value for each timesheet entry, so values could be different for each day/entry.
It is advisable to use a single field & type for billable/chargeable. This article shows two examples - as a timesheet row field and timesheet entry field. You should choose one method or the other so as not to be confusing or cause data discrepancies.
