When a security deposit is deposited in the contract overview in projo with the setting “Deduction in Invoice”, the claim amount is automatically reduced by the security deposit. The note “x% security deposit has already been deducted” appears on the invoice.

It would be better to list the billed benefit value first, subtract the security deposit from it and list the claim amount net, VAT and gross.

This is more comprehensible to the client, especially since only the cumulative security deposit is listed in the Performance Value and Payments appendix and no security deposit at all is listed in the benefits appendix to this invoice. The security deposit of the present invoice is therefore not shown as an amount anywhere.

In my example:

The claim amount of 450€ results from a benefit value of 500€ and a security deposit of 10%, i.e. 50€. Only 450€ appears on the invoice.

In the case of accumulated invoices, the security deposit is also accumulated, so that the security deposit of an invoice is not explicitly issued as an amount anywhere.
