Receiving invoices from subcontractors and suppliers

Suppliers and subcontractors (hereafter referred to as “resources”) can be paid in two different ways in Opter. You can credit costs for them, or they can invoice you.

When resources invoice you, they use what are known as cost price items. These are used to

check whether the resource invoices (instead of being credited)
check the amount that the resource is expected to invoice for a shipment
check the actual amount invoiced by the resource.

The cost price items are created in the price lists but get their prices from the resource pricing selected for the various suppliers and subcontractors. If a resource is going to start invoicing you, you therefore need to make some adjustments to ensure it is right. For more information, see Settings for receiving invoices and tracking costs.

The cost check is used to monitor invoices from suppliers and subcontractors.
