Billing Contract Overview

Billing Contracts in Work 365

A Billing Contract represents a billing relationship with a specific customer. Each Billing Contract defines attributes such as:

  • Payment terms
  • Billing frequency
  • Refund policy
  • Start and end dates
  • Auto-renew settings
  • Billing Offset

What Does a Billing Contract Control?

  • Invoice settings:
    • Invoice template
    • Contract-specific discounts
    • Automation settings (e.g., auto-send)
  • Overrides:
    • Some global or account-level settings can be overridden at the Billing Contract level.
  • Billing items:
    • Subscriptions
    • Recurring services
    • One-time purchases

Why Multiple Billing Contracts?

A customer may have more than one Billing Contract to support different billing scenarios, such as:

  • Billing in advance for licenses
  • Billing in arrears for usage or consumption

Important: In Work 365, invoicing always begins at the Billing Contract level. Every subscription, one-time purchase, and value-add service must be associated with a Billing Contract to be invoiced.
