You can use anything you bloody want as a reference number.

So if I ever work for Huxley my invoices will state:

Our Ref: Hoaxley001

etc.

HTH

As long as you have a reference number. I got pulled up on one of my many HMRC investigations for not having reference numbers on my invoices!

Surely a date is enough of a reference.....

,,, Get my drift ? Even though from another prospective its actually my second load of work for them.

Sorry for asking such a simple question...

...

They missed one.

Many contract issues come down to the wording. If you can't handle simple English, then hire a contract expert to handle your difficulties.

Wow what a lot of fuss. I thought your first post was clear enough.

If you've got a new Master Agreement, you probably want to start numbering the new schedules to it from 1 again. Then, referencing the Master Agreement number on each new schedule should make it nice and clear.

it doesn't make much difference though...

How about:
If you know a reason why he should, then reply "yes, you should".
If you know that he should not, say "no, you should not".
If you know that it doesn't matter, say "it doesn't matter".
If you don't know, say "I don't know", or don't say anything.

<sark>Does that cover it?</sark>

You know the old joke about an "IT Answer".... ie It is 100% acurate but of no use to anyone...

I think that any one of your suggestions (or indeed any combination) would constitute an example of an "IT Answer"

Whereas my answer was:
a) Witty
b) Clever
c) Helpful

Or am I deluded?

Does that cover it? - Is I assume a rhetorical question so " "

A1) should - by what criteria do you want me to judge "should"?

My English skills are not the best. Thanks for the mocking. I will crawl away with my tail between my legs.

Ohhhhh Now I feel Bad

Lets try this again....

What is your question?

Your first post had:
"...... so should the schedule number should be reset to 1 ?"
and
"Get my drift ?"

Which could be considered "questions"
A1) should - by what criteria do you want me to judge "should"
A2) No - hence my initial response!

You final post "Hope that makes it a little more clear" - could be construed as a question - to which the answer is (still) No

It does. Does it matter? Does the contract not refer to "attached" schedule?

Probably not...

I was just wondering how you guys normally do it... Keeping your ducks in a row and all that...

Just trying to keep my affairs tidy. Sounds like I am being overly anal.

Thanks anyway...

Fair enough...

Got a contract with a schedule... My understanding is that you can agree the contract and then just update the schedule as required. The schedule contain details about rates and the work to be done. The contract refers to the general legal stuff. I am using the PCG standard materials and time / direct contract. So if I wasn't going to change the contract we would simply update the schedule and renew. I presume most schedules are numbered. The first schedule was schedule number one. So I would just make this new schedule "number two".

I am proposing a change to the actual contract part... So would it make more sense to restart the number at the top of the schedule or keep the schedule number incrementing.

Hope that makes it a little more clear.

It does. Does it matter? Does the contract not refer to "attached" schedule?

Or, to be more specific, what is the numbering for? (If anything). The precise answer to that should also tell you the answer to your question.

[Drewster]

Fair enough...

Blah Blah Blah

Hope that makes it a little more clear.

I think you are assuming something as standard, when it isn't; so assuming that it doesn't have to be explained, when it does.

What is this "schedule" that you refer to?

Hi All

Got the great news that a client wants to renew....

I am making a slight change to the contract in regards to invoicing terms, 28 days to 21 days.... So that would technically be a "new" contract, so should the schedule number should be reset to 1 ? Get my drift ? Even though from another prospective its actually my second load of work for them.

Sorry for asking such a simple question...

Thanks

Item 1 - charming, handsome, friendly

Item 2 - Never rely on your own testing!!
You wrote it I bl**dy well hope you understand it......

I stand by my earlier comment (even though I might be able to make a guess at what you think you said!

Your right about the testing part but usually you get a little more than "its broke" as feedback

Anyway do not worry about it. Have a nice day

[Drewster]

Dam you guys can be harsh...

I just re-read it and although I could of written my post better I still think its understandable

Thanks for the congrats
