Feature details
Recurring billing and price management allows greater control with management of pricing and billing parameters at the line-item level. Contracts can be set up to have automated and evergreen renewals. The Monthly recurring revenue report provides insight into recurring billing, which can help you forecast more accurately.
You can consolidate invoices by the customer if there are multiple billing schedules. You can also consolidate multiple billing schedule lines into a single billing line.
Flexible pricing is critical to invoicing customers. Invoicing through subscription billing can be based on consumption, meter readings, or usage. For example, consumption can be entered manually or entered through entity import. Meter readings can be entered and used as the beginning reading for the next period. Invoices can be created based on usage with price tiers or pricing adjustments based on quantity to be invoiced.
