To make it easier and more efficient for our Enterprise clients to manage their financial relationship with Worksome, we offer to send weekly batch invoices.
What is a batch invoice?
Instead of receiving one invoice per bill that an external worker submits, a batch invoice is an aggregated invoice including all payment requests that were submitted and approved in the last week. This reduces the load on your finance team and saves a lot of time.
How does it look?
Every invoice (that includes more than 3 payment requests) will have a summary page, followed by specifications with additional information.
How are the payment requests batched together?
Batch invoices are issued every Thursday. All payment requests that have been submitted the prior week (Monday through Sunday) and approved before invoice generation are going to be included.
The due date of a batch invoice is calculated from the last Sunday. Once batch invoicing is enabled, every payment request approved after this point is going to be added to the batch invoice.
Can I change the way payment requests are being batched?
For this version, we do not support any custom preferences, so the way payment requesets are being batched cannot be customized.
Batched by currency
Invoices are now batched by currency. This means that for clients using batch invoicing and contracting with workers in a currency (using our Multi-currency contract feature) other than their own they will now receive multiple batch invoices. The same rules apply across all batch invoices e.g. generated on a Thursday, include all invoices from the past week etc.
Can I see the relations between payment request and invoice in the platform?
Under the Transactions page, you will see which payment requests and PO number(s) are related to which invoice.
Like in the Payment Requests page, you can sort on payment request status and you can also download (multiple) batch invoices from this view.
On top of that, you can see in the conversation view if an invoice is a batch invoice.
Are there any limitations?
This feature is only available for Enterprise companies at this point.
