Time zone management in MRR calculation

Why time zones can influence the MRR calculation

In Fincome, invoice lines are interpreted according to their start and end date and time. To ensure consistency of calculations, the platform automatically applies the configured time zone on the account (default: UTC +1 for France).

This means that when an invoice line starts for example on 01/31/2025 at 11 PM UTC, it is converted to 02/01/2025 at 00:00 (UTC +1) in the MRR calculation. ➡️ As a result, this line will be counted from February and not from January.

Concrete example

• Actual start date on the invoice : 01/31/2025 at 11 PM UTC

• Applied time zone (UTC +1) : offset of +1 hour

• Start date interpreted in Fincome : 02/01/2025 at 00:00

• Result : the MRR only appears from February.

How to avoid a “gap” in the MRR

If you notice a one-day shift because of the time zone: ➡️ Simply set the end of the previous period to the 1st of the following month to ensure continuity without a “gap” in the MRR.

Example:

• If your previous period ends on 31/01/2025, instead indicate 01/02/2025 as the end of the period. This way, the MRR will be smooth from one month to the next.

Best practices

• Check that your invoice dates are consistent with your local time zone.

• If you import data from an external tool (Stripe, Pennylane, etc.), make sure the exported dates are aligned to the same time zone.

• If in doubt, always favor full hours (e.g. 00:00) to avoid one-day shifts.
