The service price, and changing it

The service price is agreed per pool, not per customer. A villa with a pool and a jacuzzi has two prices, and that is usually what was actually agreed.

Step by step

1. Open the customer. Each pool shows its own Service price line.
2. Press the pencil.
3. Type the amount — net or gross, whichever you agreed. The other side fills in as you type.
4. Check valid from. It is pre-filled with the first of the current month.
5. Press Save.

Good to know

The side you typed is the side that is stored. Both fields are typeable and each fills the other, but GardyProp remembers which one you touched. Without that, a price like 61.90 gross at 19 % would not come back out the way you entered it.

The date is pre-filled, the amount is not. A wrong date is noticeable; a wrong amount is not. So the field that can be checked at a glance gets a suggestion, and the one that cannot stays empty.

A price change supersedes. The old row gets an end date and stays. This is the whole point: if a price were overwritten, January would be recalculated with the June price, and last winter's margin would change every time you put your rates up.

The VAT rate is frozen when you enter it. If Cyprus went from 19 to 21 %, every past month would otherwise look different afterwards, without anything having happened in the business.

No rate on record says so. Instead of quietly assuming 19 %, the line reads no VAT rate on record — fix it in your company details.

What it does not do

The price does not bill anything. GardyProp records what was agreed and uses it to work out margins; it does not yet produce a customer invoice.

Setting a price does not backdate. If you enter a price today with a valid-from date of January, it applies from January — but visits already recorded keep the material and labour costs they had.
