Spot potential billing errors easily
When billing duration positions, a common mistake is to edit the price directly instead of closing the old position and opening a new one. teamspace flags the resulting discrepancy.
A new system hint prevents faulty invoices
Imagine a duration position billing €100 per month. After 5 months you raise the price to €110. The right way: close the existing position with an end date and open a new position at the higher price. The order keeps billing correctly and shows exactly when the change happened.
The wrong way: change the price on the existing position. The order then assumes €110 always applied — and expects €550 instead of €500 for the past 5 months. teamspace flags this discrepancy directly on the order, and as a column in the order overview.
Two outcomes:
- You did under-bill: invoice the missing amount.
- The price change just wasn’t entered correctly: close the old position and open a new one.
Alternative billing mode for duration positions
If price changes are frequent and traceability isn’t critical, switch the calculation base. Under Configuration > Finance > Settings > Articles you can choose:
- Full duration — entered price applies retroactively across the whole period. Price changes require closing/opening positions.
- Remaining duration with current price — a new price applies from the next billing period. The past is ignored. Quick changes, no billing errors.
