Excerpt

Upcoming Features for Billing Plans (Installments)

We are working on a number of new complementary features for the Billing Plans (installments) which will be released on the upcoming release notes.

Image Removed

These features are:

  • A new field on the Account page, called Billing Plans Extra Charge, which displays when a mark-up is set to the selling price of “subscriptions with installments” by a certain percentage. In case a BSS account has a Billing Plan Extra Charge defined then a subscription with a Billing Plan will have that Extra Charge applied to its Unit Price and therefore it will be more expensive than a similar subscription without a Billing Plan.

  • The same new field also appears on the Subscription page in BSS.

  • A new merge field (called Billing Plans Extra Charge) is already available for the Reports and Notifications of the Accounts and with this field, you can check as well as display the Billing Plan Extra Charge that an account has. This merge field can be used in Reports, Notifications, Advanced Search, Email Templates, and Print-out Templates.

  • Additional API (V.3) changes are already available and can be found inside the following four endpoints where the element called BillingFrequencyMarkup is directly related/mapped to the account’s Billing Plan Extra Charge field. All four endpoints below can be used to interact with that new element.

  • GET api/accounts/{accountId} : When retrieving the information of a specific account based on the given ID, you can now check the extra charge of that account’s billing plan.

  • PATCH api/accounts/{accountId} : When partially updating the information of a specific account based on the given ID, you can now define the extra charge of a billing plan.

  • GET api/accounts : When retrieving the information of the first 100 accounts of an organization, you can now check the extra charge of their billing plans.

  • POST api/accounts : When creating an account under an organization, you can now define the extra charge of a billing plan

    Improvement of Azure Plan Invoices Having Negative Amounts

    It has come to our attention that in certain cases Microsoft was returning to our systems negative amounts due to service interruptions for some Azure Plan subscriptions but we have improved our invoice mechanism to disregard these negative amounts during the creation of the respective debit invoice on our side.
