How can I use the Contract functionality to periodically generate invoices for services unrelated to shipments?

The Contract functionality allows you to create invoices on a monthly basis for various services that do not relate to specific Scope shipments, such as warehouse rental.

Create a Contract

When creating a new Contract, the following details are to be provided:
1. Customer

2. Cost center

3. Reference value (optional, depending on the configuration)

4. Next job date: the date of the month that will be charged next

Charge lines can be added later in the Positions part, specifying the type of charge, applicable tax, and the associated amount. It is possible to indicate whether invoices should be finished right away, without further review. 

Create invoices for the Contract(s)

By selecting the "Create All" option at the top of the Contracts overview, jobs will be created for all active Contracts, and corresponding invoices will be generated. 

End a Contract

To terminate a Contract, open it and select the "End Contract" option. This will effectively conclude the Contract and prevent the generation of any further invoices associated with it.

Statistics

You can use the filter option on Module in the Shipment Overview to show the jobs associated with Contracts from the Shipment Overview or to hide these.
