Three documents per month

Membership in advance, usage in arrears, kiosk separate. The three documents are never merged.

One month-end run produces up to three invoices per member. Each covers its own period, and no two are ever put on one document.

| Document | Covers | Period | |---|---|---| | Membership | the plan's base price and add-ons | the coming month, in advance | | Desk | days beyond the allowance, day-pass days, room hours beyond the pool | the past month, in arrears | | Kiosk | kiosk purchases, tax rate per position | the past month, in arrears |

What follows from that:

  • One document, one period. A base price is owed for a month that has not happened yet. Usage can only be quantified once the month is over. Printing both on one PDF would put two periods on one document.
  • The kiosk is separate on purpose. A member can deduct workspace rent as a business expense but not their snacks. The two have to stay separable on the recipient's side.
  • The kind of position decides the document, not the order within the run. A position therefore never lands on two documents.
  • An empty position list produces no document. Whoever stayed inside the allowance gets no usage invoice and no €0 document. The days stay unlinked and keep showing at €0.
  • A plan without a base price produces no membership invoice. Day-pass days appear as a position on the desk invoice.
  • Tax rates can differ. A kiosk invoice can carry several rates side by side, each frozen per position. The desk invoice carries your space's rate.
  • There is no schedule. Nothing is issued before you trigger the run. See Start the month-end run.
