What is an invoice with continuous settlement?
A continuing settlement invoice refers to a business transaction where the provision of a service is linked to a specific period of time, rather than a single occasion. Examples include invoicing for rental contracts, internet services, but also invoices for accounting services we provide to your company.
When invoicing these types of services, a continuing settlement invoice must be issued. It is important to note that it is not necessary to specifically state on the invoice that it relates to the provision of a continuous supply of services. However, determining the date of completion can be particularly difficult in this case (see this article for more details).
Help your own work and ours.
The Számlázz.hu system has a useful control module that warns you if the invoice dates are not set in accordance with the legal requirements for continuous settlement.
However, this module is important not only because it helps you, but also because it allows us to automate the accounting period defined in the invoice data during the audit. This allows us to work much faster and to a higher standard with your outgoing invoices.
To specify the exact period, follow the steps below:
Tick the box next to the invoice with a continuous settlement ('folyamatos teljesítésű számla') to indicate that the invoice is a continuous settlement.
Even if you are aware of how to issue a continuous settlement invoice , click on the check dates ('dátumok ellenőrzése') link.
Clicking on the link will open a modal window where you can enter the exact period your service covers. For example, if you are billing for the 10th month's rent, enter 10.01 as the start date and the end date as the end of the month.
Finally, be sure to click on the check settlement date ('teljesítési dátum ellenőrzése') button.
If you do this, the period of service will be clearly indicated on the invoice, making it easier to process and account for.
