Contract Performance Period

Transfer contract performance periods to recurring invoices.

Developed by 2BIT Digital GmbH — your Swiss Odoo partner for payroll, accounting, eCommerce, manufacturing and custom business solutions.

Overview

Contract managers can maintain the current performance period on contracts and pass that period to generated invoices.

The module computes start and end dates for the current invoicing period and can align them with weekly, monthly, quarterly, semesterly, or yearly recurrence rules.

Business Impact

Why You Need This Module

Recurring invoices often need to show the exact service period covered by the charge. Without automated period handling, teams must adjust invoice dates manually.

This module keeps contract billing periods explicit and transfers them to invoice performance period fields.

Which Problems It Solves

• Missing service period dates on recurring invoices
• Manual calculation of period start and end dates for contracts
• Recurring invoices not aligned with end-of-period billing expectations

Key Benefits For Contract Billing Teams

• Current performance period fields on contracts
• Automatic transfer of period dates to generated invoices
• Support for end-of-period calculations across recurrence types

How It Works

• Set the contract start date, recurrence rule, and current performance period fields.
• Enable use of the performance period on invoices when dates should be transferred.
• Choose end-of-period behavior when invoices should cover full calendar-style periods.
• Generated recurring invoices receive the computed performance period start and end dates.
