How to set up the Lease Contract Lines to charge the customer correctly

Learn how to effortlessly convert cost entries into charge entries so these amounts can be added to sales invoices.

When allocating costs using Allocation Codes, the system generates Cost Type entries. To bill these costs to the Customer, Charge Type entries must be created in the Service Journal, which requires additional configuration in the Service Card or Lease Contract Lines.

  • Open Services using Search or from menu.
  • The Service list page will open. Find and open the Service card that you want to configure.
  • Enable Charge Cost Entries button to specify if cost entries of this Service should be marked in Lease Contract Lines automatically.

Once the setup is completed, the value will be filled in automatically when a Service is added to the Lease Contract Line. This value can also be selected and changed manually on a new or existing line.

Charge Entry creation can follow one of three scenarios, depending on the setup.

Option 1. If costs are to be allocated from a Purchase Invoice and any fixed amount should be applied, add Service No. to the Lease Contract Lines and set Charge Cost Entries field as True. No price should be created, so the actual costs from the Purchase Invoice flow as the charge amount in Service Journal.

Option 2. Add the Service No. to the Lease Contract Lines and set the price for the required period. The Charge Cost Entries field should remain blank in this case, so the system will generate Charge Entries based on the contract line details.

Option 3. If you set both a Service Price and enable Charge Cost Entries in the Lease Contract Line, the system will generate two Charge Entries in the Service Journal: one based on the Purchase Invoices amounts and another based on the contract-defined Service Price. As a result, you will see two separate lines for the same Service. For example, for the CLEANING Service shown below, €19.34 is allocated to Lease Unit LU00028 from the Purchase Invoice, while €165.00 is generated from the contract details.

The next step is to generate the Charge entries in the Service Journal
