Mission Control Billing and Invoice Reconciliation
Technical work has a .5 hour minimum per ticket. (This is how they bill us. It's not customer-facing.)
Other work (contacting us, dispatch fee) is in addition and does not have a minimum.
Technical time entries are rounded up to the nearest .25 hour.
Draft of Reconciliation Procedures:
MC charges us for 6 prepaid hours per month ($630). If the invoice is no more than $630, nothing needs to be checked. If the invoice is more than that, the following must be checked.
- In Autotask, go to Posted Billing Item Search(Un-post) and choose the correct post and worked date range.
- Search for each MSP ticket number in Posted Billing Item Search (Un-post) .
- Confirm amounts. Check each off on invoice. Take notes on the ones that are wrong (there are always errors in their favor)
- Next, add up the total billable time from the time entries. (Helpful to use a spreadsheet.) Confirm it adds up to the amount on the invoice.
- Send an email to Orjeta with details of any and all concerns.
