Continuation of billing after partial final invoice

Lena Selchert

Contracts should be able to be continued even after a partial final invoice and should not be regarded as “final calculation”. A complete final invoice with all partial services cannot currently be presented

Arne Semmler We now display the complete final invoice with all partial services. A much bigger problem for us in this context is that by classifying a TSR as a final invoice, we no longer generate a payment plan and we have to manually store it for every project starting at work phase 3. This is an unbearable expense and could also lead to late invoicing as a result of decoupling from contract deadlines.

Ricarda Kutzner: Hi Ricarda, I don't understand that. The procedure in projo is currently as follows: After a TSR, the contract must be split into two contracts, either manually or partially automatically. Every contract that has a (partial) SR no longer has a payment plan. However, depending on your settings, the new, split contract will of course also have an optional automatic payment plan.

Arne Semmler We cannot split orders after a TSR, as our clients (80% public) need a cumulative invoice by the end of the project, which lists all previous reductions and partial final invoices. We only provide TSR because (partial) final services can be claimed as revenue, with advance invoices only considered as incomplete services.

Ricarda Kutzner Yes, I know that - every client, whether public or private, has their own preferences. But that doesn't change the fact that in Projo currently has to go into two contracts to represent it cleanly. I have handled this in the past in such a way that I met this requirement from the contracting authorities only for the final invoice and not for the deductions. If that didn't work either, I created several services in the new sub-contract (e.g. one per service group/service profile), which presented the order amount and the 100% settlement of these service components. In the payments section, I have a (!) Invoice created, which was called 1.-10. AR + 1st TSR and represented the total payment. That worked - I just had to be careful with regard to controlling and office evaluations so that I didn't draw any wrong conclusions...
