Flexible Additional Services – Now Available with Fixed Price.

Until now, projects with a fixed price only offered the option Within Budget or Not Within Budget. To cover more use cases without detours, MOCO now also offers all combinations (1).

NEW: Within Budget + Billable

• Additional services are covered by the fixed price budget, but should still be listed separately on the invoice
• The personal expenses or third-party costs can thus be part of the budget progress – but still be offered for invoicing. 
• Previously, the costs were recorded as "Within Budget" – consequently, they were not offered for invoicing. 

NEW: Not Within Budget + Not Billable

• Freelancers book hours on the project and their incoming invoices are also assigned (Set internal hourly rate to 0)
• The incoming invoice is merely considered as a cost item on the project
• Previously, the invoice was recorded as "Not Within Budget" – consequently, it was offered for invoicing and had to be manually set to already invoiced.

PREVIOUSLY: Not Within Budget + Billable (2)

• Additional services are invoiced according to effort
• They are not part of the fixed price (= project budget) and are therefore automatically offered for invoicing.

PREVIOUSLY: Within Budget + Not Billable

• Additional services are included in the fixed price
• Only the fixed price is charged to the client as a lump sum (e.g., via proposal).
• All services (e.g., third-party costs/personal expenses) are set against the project budget to monitor how much of the offered services has already been provided.
