Cost handling for invoices

Create a cost item directly from an incoming invoice, link it to a customer project, and the costs flow into the next outgoing invoice automatically.

Pass external services on

teamspace lets you onward-bill external services. From an incoming invoice you can create a cost handling that turns the amount into a cost element, link it to a customer project — and the cost flows into the next outgoing invoice automatically via the order.

Capturing the incoming invoice

For mail receipt, the e-invoice arrives as an attachment. Create the incoming invoice from it — e-invoice data is read automatically. If the invoice doesn’t come via mail, create the document in the system and attach the e-invoice via drag & drop.

Once master data is right, the incoming invoice is created, and individual positions are stored via a standard incoming article.

Alternatively, capture incoming invoices via the quick expense entry. A cost element is created and linked to the invoice in one step — fast for one-position receipts.

Cost handling per element

Choose how the cost is passed on to the customer:

  • No charging — the cost is not passed on.
  • Manual charging — billable amount set manually.
  • Via the cost element — passed on one-to-one.
  • Via the price list — billable amount per article price in the order’s price list.
  • Via the order position — amount derived from the position the cost flows into.

Transparent overview

The Costs tab on the order shows all costs queued for the next invoice. For full transparency, generate a cost statement that ships with the invoice — similar to an activity record.
