Overview

What

Billing configuration settings that can be applied to a partner that have impacts on different areas of the application

Who

  • Our finance team is looking to track information on a partner to properly bill them

  • Partners who need to control certain metadata about their billing types

  • Users looking to see the correct currencies in the application

Why

Ensure our system is flexible enough to support different types of partners and their billing needs

Example

A partner is located in the UK and needs the settings on their hierarchy to reflect that


Walkthrough

A user needs to be enabled to see the billing tab on a partner. This is a user permission available only for admin users.

 

On a partner, the Billing tab will house settings we can configure that indicate how the partner is billed. All of these settings funnel into our ERP (billing system)

  • Billing code

  • LMC Partner

  • Bulk Discount Eligible

  • Is billing enabled

 

 

 

Subsidiaries indicate where a company is located and, ultimately, how it is taxed and billed. Technically, a partner can operate in more than one international location, and because of that we have both primary and secondary subsidiaries. For now, the primary subsidiary stored on the partner will indicate where all underlying line items get billed.

Primary subsidiaries also control the currency that shows on a line item. See examples below:

Example proposal with a primary subsidiary of “UK”
Example proposal where the primary subsidiary is set to “CA”
Example proposal where the primary subsidiary is set to “US”
