Billing Options
One-time: The item has no billing interval. The item becomes due for billing immediately and once it is added to the billing data (can be billed immediately).
Monthly: The item is billed monthly in arrears. The due date for the item is reached at the end of a calendar month.
Monthly (in advance): The item is billed monthly in advance. The due date for the item is reached on the 1st of each calendar month.
Yearly (in advance): The item is billed yearly in advance. The due date for the item is reached immediately with the start date and on the same date in the following years.
For our example, four add-ons were created with a unit price of €10 each, each with a different billing option. The billing start for all add-ons is on June 13th.
When can an invoice be printed for the respective services?

To illustrate the due date, let’s look at the billing data in Faktura at different times:

Explanation of Positions:
Addon 3 is billed yearly in advance. Since the billing start has been reached (Start = June 13th), the item can be billed from June 13th. The service period is displayed from June 13th of the current year to June 12th of the following year.
Addon 4 is billed monthly in advance. Since the billing start has been reached (Start = June 13th), the item can be billed from June 13th. For simplicity in management, items billed monthly are always adjusted to calendar months. Therefore, the item is calculated proportionally from June 13th to June 30th.
Addon 1 has no billing interval and is one-time and immediately due. Therefore, the item can be fully billed from June 13th.
What happened to Addon 2? Addon 2 is billed monthly. Unlike „Billing (in advance)“ (Addon 4), this means „monthly in arrears.“ Although the billing start of Addon 2 is also June 13th, it is only due at the end of the month and therefore is not found in the billing data on June 13th.

With June 30th, the due date for items billed monthly is reached.
Additional option 2 is billed monthly. By reaching the end of the month, Addon 2 reaches the due date and can be billed from June 30th. Since the start date was June 13th, Addon 2 is calculated proportionally from June 13th to June 30th.
