The cost calculator feature on service agreements are a way of recording invoices paid against a package where payment is made outside of the system.

It is important for ICB’s to be able to fully report on financials, which means payments which are made outside of the system are displayed on the system for accuracy of comprehensive reports.

⚠️Important: The support team are unable to amend service receipts generated from the cost calculator. The client is required to amend the receipts themselves by using the cost calculator feature.
