Calculation Based Subscription (Enterprise Plan)

A Subscription type which is based on pricing and quantity changes related to other subscriptions.

📘

Billing and pricing management for Calculated Subscriptions is supported in the Enterprise Plan

Work 365 is integrated with the Product Catalog in Dynamics 365. This means that anytime a new subscription is created, looking up the product in the product field will then automatically populate the product details on the subscription.

  • Calculation Based Subscription are not allowed for user modification on the self-service portal.
  • This subscription cannot be provisioned. Provider will always be Do nothing provider
  • This is not a quantity-based subscription. Quantity will be always 1 and is not editable
  • User will have to specify calculation % value. Subscription will be charged based on this percentage value.
  • Selling Price and Cost Price will be updated based on the attached subscription.
    Therefore, when any subscription that is related to this subscription has a change of quantity or price or cost, this subscription's price and cost will be updated to reflect this.
  • Should always have associated subscriptions to reflect on Invoice
  • Calculated subscription will be included in the Invoice only if "Calculated subscription" feature is enabled.
