Statement of Work (SOW) & Acceptance Certificate Reconciliation
Enterprise contractors frequently deal with multi-tier procurement processes where payment depends on verified deliverables and matching purchase orders (POs).
Purchase Order (PO) Matching
Every invoice generated in Cod Xpert allows you to reference enterprise client PO numbers, project codes, cost centers, and contracting work orders. This ensures accounts payable teams match invoices against approved purchase commitments without delays.
Multi-Currency Bank Account Options
Contractors operating across jurisdictions can include multiple remittance destinations on a single invoice layout: Indian INR bank accounts (RTGS/NEFT/UPI) alongside international virtual receiving accounts (SWIFT, IBAN, ACH routing).
TDS Withholding & Statutory Export Invoicing for Independent Contractors
Domestic and international contracting contracts carry distinct statutory obligations under the Indian Income Tax and GST Acts.
Domestic TDS Withholding (Section 194J vs 194C)
When billing domestic clients, corporate payers deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) under Section 194J (10% or 2% for technical services) or Section 194C (contractors). Cod Xpert records TDS deductions cleanly so your annual Form 26AS matches your invoicing ledger.
