Ask both of them

From the Billing and revenue guide. Put the same questions to each vendor and compare the answers against your checklist.

  • Bill our hardest contract: an upgrade on day 45, a usage overage and a cancellation with a credit.
  • Show the revenue schedule for that contract and the journal entries it creates.
  • What happens to an invoice when usage arrives after the period closes?
  • How are price changes versioned, and can we see the history?
  • Show deferred revenue tied to the ledger at month-end.
  • What do we export, and in what format, if we leave?
