RMR Rate Changes

This Help File Page was last Modified on 11/27/2017

Recurring Revenue is often the lifeblood of any Company, and that is particularly true with the Burglary Alarm Business.

The ability to accurately and easily create Invoices for Recurring Revenue is a critical step toward the successful implementation of the Accounts Receivable module.

The flexibility of this Automatic Billing system will allow the automation of virtually any recurring billing requirement your Company may have.

 

The Rates for each Subscriber's Recurring Revenue may be setup and later modified in many ways:

Recurring Revenue - A previously entered Custom Pay Amount may be manually modified, and a Pay Group may be assigned to initially set the Rate Amount in the Recurring Revenue Form

Custom Pay Increase - An established, user specific Amount for a Subscriber defined in the Recurring Revenue Form, may be modified using the Custom Pay Increase Form

Pay Group Change - The Amount assigned to a Pay Group may be changed in the associated Pay Group Form which will then change that Amount for all of the Subscriber's Recurring Revenue records that have been assigned to that Pay Group.

Pay Groups - An individual Pay Group Amount may be modified directly in the Pay Groups Form.

 

Knowing when, and by whom, the Rates being charged for Recurring Revenue have been changed is an important part being able to properly manage your Company's Recurring Revenue.

 

The RMR Rate Changes fully functional data grid lists (based on a User Defined Date Range) When, by Whom, and by what Amount the Rates being charged for Recurring Revenue have been changed.
