How to set up client invoicing?

Step 1

Define your services

1. Add invoice parameters

TAX codes, product codes, articles, resourse codes, units and bank accounts. Use import!

2. Create service

Name the service in different languages and specify the included task topics. Define the parameters for integration such as product code, project code, resource code or use custom values.

3. Add pricing calculation

Choose fixed, hours, or volume pricing through custom field. Define pricing levels with different calculation methods and periods. You can combine and mix every pricing model. It’s truly the most flexible pricing setup you have seen!

Step 2

Create master contracts

1. Add contract template

Define billing recurrence – monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Invoice date, like creation date, last day of the month, or any specific date 1,2,3,4,5…

2. Add services

Add the created services to the contract in the necessary order in the invoice. It is wise to add more services because Uku is smart and does not add the services that have not been provided.

Step 3

Add contracts to clients

1. Choose contracts

Choose contracts with different periods and custom settings under each client. You can do it for multiple clients at once as well.

2. Customize as needed

You can customize every part of the service according to the client’s agreement. For example, with some clients, the hourly price is higher, or additional work is cheaper.
