Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of monitoring, by a blockchain node, a delivery of a service to a first node from a second node based on a service contract and an order retrieved from a blockchain, determining, by the blockchain node, an incremental charge for a partial delivery of the service based on the monitoring, and executing, by the blockchain node, a smart contract to issue the incremental charge for the partial delivery of the service, and responsive to a resolution of a dispute raised for the incremental charge, add the incremental charge to an incremental invoice.
