The problems

What makes billing heavy in the service industry

Many small invoices, rates that change with the day of the week, and customers with many addresses.

Billing per hotel, every day

Rooms cleaned and hours with Saturday, Sunday and holiday rates have to be invoiced per hotel every day. In spreadsheets it is both slow and error-prone.

How we solve it

Invoices are created in Business Central per hotel from rooms and hours, with the rates calculated according to the contract.

Contracts in folders and emails

When the contract lives somewhere other than the invoice, it is hard to see what was agreed and what is being billed.

How we solve it

Contract management in Business Central with contracts in Word and electronic signing. The contract sits where the invoice is created.

Invoices without a signed contract

Work invoiced before the contract is signed is an argument waiting to happen.

How we solve it

A contract must be signed before it can be invoiced. Business Central holds the invoice back until the signature is in.

One customer, many delivery addresses

A hotel chain wants the invoice to go to the hotel where the work was done, not to head office.

How we solve it

E-invoicing via Continia with one delivery address per GLN number, so each invoice reaches the right hotel.

Reminders and interest by hand

Many invoices mean many due dates. Keeping track of reminders manually takes time nobody has.

How we solve it

Reminders and interest are calculated in Business Central under the Danish Interest Act (renteloven).

A budget in another system

When the budget is made in Excel, it rarely matches what is actually invoiced.

How we solve it

Budgets per hotel built from billing data, so budget and actuals come from the same source.

FAQ

What people often ask us

Is contract management standard in Business Central?

No. It is an extension we build in AL, so contracts, signatures and billing fit together inside Business Central.

Can weekend and holiday rates be calculated automatically?

Yes. The rates are calculated from the registered hours and the rates in the contract, so nobody has to work them out by hand.

How does the invoice reach the right hotel?

Each hotel has its own delivery address with a GLN number, and the e-invoice is sent via Continia to the address the work belongs to.
