How to Get Started with Contracts

Written by Zuzana Sýkorová

Customer – a natural or legal person receiving services, goods, etc. from a supplier.


Supplier – a natural or legal person providing services, goods, etc. to a customer.

Customer and supplier contracts are used for automatic invoicing at regular, or irregular, intervals based on the use or provision of services.

Under customer contracts, you are the supplier and you generate invoices for your customers based on defined contracts — these are outgoing invoices. Based on these, your customer sends you payment for the service or goods provided.

With supplier contracts, you are the customer and you have a contract with your suppliers for a service (or goods) for which you pay a certain amount. Based on this, suppliers send you invoices (from your perspective, these are incoming invoices), or the ABRA Flexi system generates invoices automatically (for example, when you regularly pay 1,000 CZK per month for a service).

Customer and supplier contracts are managed using the Customer Contracts and Supplier Contracts forms in the Business Partners module.

Example

Using a simple example, we will walk through a practical demonstration of regular monthly invoicing in advance:

First, we create a contract type and configure the following fields:

Name

ABRA Flexi Provision

Code

PROVISION

Filled in automatically

Invoice type

Advance

Advance non-tax document

Invoicing method

In advance

Invoice days in advance

14

It is advisable for this value to be greater than the invoice due date period

Turnover day

1

We want documents to always be issued on the first day of the calendar month

Now we create the first contract:

Contract type

ABRA Flexi Provision

Company

Flexi Systems s.r.o.

Contract number

1

Invoicing frequency (months)

1

0 = one-time

And we add a new contract line item:

Code

FLEXIBEE

Name

ABRA Flexi License

Manual price

Yes

Unit price

1000

Price type

Excluding VAT

VAT rate

Standard

Now click the "Generate Invoices" button and several invoices will be created.
