laskutettava

Laskutettava is a Finnish adjective meaning billable or invoicable, used to describe goods or services that may be charged to a customer. It is common in accounting, sales, procurement, and contract language to distinguish between items that can be invoiced and those that cannot.

Etymology and forms: Laskutettava is formed from lasku, meaning invoice or bill, with the suffix -ttava, which indicates capability or suitability. Related forms include laskutettavissa (“able to be billed”) and laskutettavuus (billability). The opposite can be expressed as ei laskutettava or laskuttamaton (“not billable”).

Usage: In business processes, laskutettava describes work, materials, or services that are eligible for invoicing. For example, “Kaikki sovitut työt ovat laskutettavia” means all agreed work is billable; “laskutettava määrä” refers to the amount that will be invoiced under the contract. The term helps define scope in projects and contracts and clarifies which items will be charged to the customer.
