In our setup we’re looking for the simplest way to regularly invoice a software license in IFS Cloud.

Real-world scenario:
We sell a software license that renews automatically every year and gets invoiced quarterly.

Technically in IFSC:

  • software license is represented with a non-inventory configurable sales part
  • Service Contracts can trigger regular creation of Work Orders
  • Request Contracts can trigger regular creation of Requests

That’s why we’re wondering — what is the best and simplest way in IFS Cloud to handle recurring invoicing for something like a software license?
And if the product is a non-inventory configurable sales part, how does that affect the setup or available options?

Would love to hear how others have implemented similar recurring revenue models in IFS Cloud.

Hi, 

 

Request contract or service request could fit your need. It is not mandatory to create a request or work order, you can just simply invoice the request contract.

Futhermore, from a finance point of view, if you are invoicing quartely but you want to recognize your sales each month, you can do it automatically by using “create period allocation”. Company often have this need. 

 

Regards,

I agree that the contracts would be good. its just not working for configurable parts from what I can see. Any idea about that?
