Description
**Describe the Issue**
This ticket is a result of a meeting with Rosemarie, Catherine, Abibat, and I about the current state of the quarterly billing reports. Rosemarie has told us that she's heard of other cost recovery models where the clients are automatically billed and an invoice is sent to them after the fact. This saves money as only about half of the Q3 costs have been recovered as of today, two weeks after the end of the quarter. It also saves Rosemarie the time of following up with every team to try to get approvals.
**Additional Context**

**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] Investigate whether this can be implemented in our case
- [ ] Meeting to discuss details of how to implement and whether we want to do it this way
- [ ] Any relevant tickets created

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current quarterly billing reports and cost-recovery workflow described in the issue. Investigate whether automatic end-of-quarter charging and invoice delivery fit this project, then document the implementation options and discussion outcome. Done means the feasibility question is answered and any follow-up tickets are created.
