Price Reconciliation / Change Orders


Multi-year CRO contracts routinely go through price changes mid-study. When a sponsor agrees to a new unit price, the system automatically calculates the reconciliation billing for all previously delivered units at the delta between old and new price — retroactively, with an as-of date — and queues it as a billing milestone ready to add to the next invoice. No spreadsheet, no off-system calculation.

Change Orders Shouldn't Stop Your Billing

Multi-year clinical trials almost always go through price changes mid-study — whether it’s a sponsor renegotiation, inflation adjustment, or a scope change that triggers new contracted rates. Without a systematic process, calculating what’s owed retroactively across dozens of units and multiple periods of already-delivered work is a manual, error-prone spreadsheet exercise that delays billing and creates reconciliation risk.

This accelerator closes that gap. When a price changes, the system automatically calculates the delta across every previously delivered unit, creates a reconciliation billing milestone, and queues it for the next invoice — no off-sheet calculation, no manual re-entry, no risk of missing delivered units. The same process handles unit quantity changes and new units added mid-study, keeping the project record and the billing record in sync at all times.
