TRANSCRIPT
Helps you invoice your clients efficiently in 3 easy steps
Invoicing in projects a typical scenario
• How much are we going to certify or invoice this month? A typical question raised by management, to project managers at the end of each month.
• The project manager with his team start searching in the payment schedule for items to be certified based on works done, so as to prepare certification/invoice.
• The document gets presented to the client or his representative for negotiation which will end up with an agreed item.
• This whole process happens in spread sheets that travels back and forth between stakeholders. via email.
A Critique of the described manual process
• Data is dispersed and distributed between:– Site staff who knows the progress.– PMO staff who knows the payment schedule values and
policies, but need operational information to be able to determine amounts to be invoiced and documentation to back it up.
• Controls of what was invoiced and when is manual and again based on personal use tool such as spread sheets, and email exchanges.
