Note: You can select several Service Types in a single contract:

Invoice Recurrence
Billing Recurrence: This is the frequency of the recurring invoice. Setting this up will flash the “To Prepare” tile when preparing an invoice according to the recurrence and the cycle reference date.
Billing Type: You can choose between two options. The first one will allow you to invoice the client for services completed in the past (Bill at the end of the Service Period). Simultaneously, the second one will invoice the client for services in the future not yet completed (Pre-Bill at Start of Service Period).
Cycle Reference Date: The date that you will use to start the billing recurrence cycle.
Invoice date adjustment: The additional or subtracted days to produce the invoice for the client. This will work with the payment terms and the view on invoices to produce in the billing section.
Note: You can edit the invoice recurrence section until the first invoice is processed. After that, if you need to change the recurrence, you will have to create a new contract for that client. You can validate that the information above by clicking on Preview Invoices Dates.
Note: Information on the contract page will vary according to the configurations you have set.
