The article explains the updated version of the SmartumPlus lunch benefit invoicing process under the prepayment model.
💡 Please note that the new invoicing date will apply starting from November 24, 2024.
The use of the lunch benefit is invoiced monthly, based on actual usage. Previously, the invoicing date for lunch benefits under the prepayment model was 7 days before the end of the month, which caused the last day of the billing period to vary from month to month.
In order to streamline the invoicing process we have made changes to this.
From now on, the lunch benefit under the prepayment model will always be invoiced on the 24th day of the current month. This means the billing period will cover the time from the 24th of the previous month to the 23rd of the current month.
Example: The December lunch invoice was generated on December 24. During the night between December 23 and 24, the system compiled all unbilled lunches for the invoice. December 23 is therefore the last day of the billing period. In this case, the billing period is from November 24 to December 23.
Below is a table of invoicing dates and their corresponding billing periods, which follows the same pattern:
- Invoiced on 24.11.2024 for the period: 26.10.–23.11.
(Note the exceptional billing period due to the transition) - Invoiced on 24.12.2024 for the period: 24.11.–23.12.
- Invoiced on 24.01.2025 for the period: 24.12.–23.01.
- Invoiced on 24.02.2025 for the period: 24.01.–23.02.
- Invoiced on 24.03.2025 for the period: 24.02.–23.03.
- Invoiced on 24.04.2025 for the period: 24.03.–23.04.
