Grouping Subscriptions on an Invoice
In Fenerum, you have the option to consolidate multiple subscriptions onto a single invoice if desired. This can be beneficial for both you and your customers as it reduces the number of invoices and simplifies the payment process.
To ensure that subscriptions are invoiced together, a set of criteria must be met.
Step-by-Step Guide to Grouping Subscriptions:
1. Disable Individual Invoicing
- Navigate to the subscription you want to include in a consolidated invoice.
- Under "Advanced Settings," make sure the "Always invoice this subscription separately" option is turned off.
2. Ensure Consistent Billing Details
For subscriptions to be invoiced together, the following billing details must be identical:
- Renewal Date: Subscriptions must have the same renewal date.
- Currency: All subscriptions must be billed in the same currency.
- Payment Terms: The same payment terms must apply to all subscriptions.
- Collection Method: The same payment method must be used.
- Pre-Renewal Invoicing Configuration: Billing settings must be consistent.
- PO Number: If a PO number is required, it must be identical for all subscriptions.
Example:
If a customer has three subscriptions with the same currency, renewal date, payment terms, payment method, and PO number, and all subscriptions have individual invoicing disabled, they will be grouped into a single invoice.
If just one of these criteria differs, the subscription will be invoiced separately.
To ensure that the subscriptions appear on the same invoice, you can click "Preview Next Invoice". Alternatively, if a color mark appears on the left side, it also indicates that the subscriptions will be invoiced together, as shown in the image below.
