Last modified February 19, 2026

Visma Net include the following, each of which is described in its own topic:

+ [About fixed-price contracts](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-examples/about-fixed-price-contracts/index.md)
+ [About usage-based contracts](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-examples/usage-based-contracts/about-usage-based-contracts/index.md)
+ [About retainer contracts](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-examples/retainer-contracts/about-retainer-contracts/index.md)

## Contracts with invoicing on demand

You may want to have the ability to provide a customer with any service or solution you have at any time and invoice the customer as needed. To implement such a scenario, do the following:

1. Create an active contract template with the invoicing period set to the **On demand** option, and do not add any contract items. Prepare a contract with the **Draft** status based on this template. For details, see [About contract preparation](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-preparation/about-contract-preparation/index.md).
1. Set up and activate the contract. The contract status is changed to **Active** and you can proceed with the contract usage recording. For details, see [About contract setup and activation](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-setup-and-activation/about-contract-setup-and-activation/index.md).
1. For the contract, enter the usage of the non-stock items that correspond to the services or solutions provided to this customer. For details, see [Enter contract usage](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-usage-recording/enter-contract-usage/index.md).
1. Invoice the contract any time you need to. For details, see [Run contract invoicing](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/customer-ledger/manage-contracts/contract-invoicing/run-contract-invoicing/index.md).
