What billing management options are available?
Tempolia lets you automate or manually manage invoice creation using several billing methods adapted to your needs:
- Fixed-fee billing, subscription billing with automatic creation and renewal mechanisms;
- Time-and-materials billing, based on time spent and possibly valued at rates specific to each matter;
- Billing based on produced quantities: number of payslips, billing units, etc.;
- Billing based on expenses and re-billable disbursements, with VAT applied or not;
- Calculation formulas based on the content of the current invoice or previous invoices;
- Manual billing, as with any invoicing software.
You can also import invoices created with another software package as "external invoices" in « Billing > Invoice preparation », action « Enter an external invoice », or by importing a file of invoice lines. This is possible in all versions of Tempolia, even when billing is not included, so you can always analyze your margins and bonus / loss. External invoices cannot be displayed as PDFs, cannot be sent by email by Tempolia and cannot be exported to accounting. They are directly integrated into Tempolia’s sales journal; there is no validation concept for them.
With payment management features, you can track payment history, automatically match collections, and access an aged balance report showing invoices awaiting payment, classified by age, for example 30, 60 or 90 days.
