SAP Subscription BillingEvery rule matters.

A commercial offer needs rules the system can interpret. We help define subscriptions, charges and lifecycle changes clearly, from the product to the data passed to invoicing.

Subscriptions Charges and usage Integration

Explore our approach

01 / OUR APPROACH

The offer,
made operational.

SAP Subscription Billing manages subscriptions and calculates recurring, one-time and usage charges. In an integrated scenario, it provides billing data to the system responsible for invoicing. We connect those capabilities with your commercial and financial rules.

COMMERCIAL MODEL DESIGN

Three questions for every offer.

  1. 01

    What

    Product, terms and effective dates.

  2. 02

    When

    Start date, frequency and lifecycle changes.

  3. 03

    How much

    One-time, recurring or usage charges.

Before configuration: agree offer examples, expected results and exception rules.

02 / HOW WE WORK

From the catalog
to billing data.

01

Offer modeling

We work through examples of products, prices, periods and changes. We document the starts, renewals, cancellations and adjustments your business needs, then check each scenario against available functionality.

PROPOSED DELIVERABLEScenario catalog and model rules.

02

Usage and data quality

We define how to identify the customer, subscription and usage event. We review units, dates, completeness and the handling of duplicate or late records before agreeing the integration flow.

PROPOSED DELIVERABLEData contract and intake checks.

03

Integration and testing

We specify the destination for billing data and traceability to related documents. Tests compare an offer and its usage with the calculated charge and its downstream processing.

Scope, effort and deliverables are agreed for each project.

03 / DECISIONS IN CONTEXT

Calculating a charge and issuing an invoice are different stages.

Invoicing, payments and revenue recognition are defined in the architecture. For Public Edition, SAP documents scenario 5IK with Convergent Invoicing and specific prerequisites. Pricing, replication, volume and service constraints are checked against the applicable release; product names alone do not establish compatibility.

04 / FREQUENTLY ASKED

Before we begin.

Does Subscription Billing issue the tax invoice?

The integrated design must identify the invoicing system and local compliance solution. Subscription Billing charge data feeds that journey; it does not, on its own, replace tax and localization validation.

Can I combine recurring and usage charges?

The product supports those charge types. The specific model is validated against your offer examples, pricing rules and the constraints of the chosen integration scenario.

How do we start before the catalog is finalized?

We select representative offers and exceptions. A workshop separates shared rules from variations and identifies commercial decisions that must be settled before configuration.
