  • considering the booked price of the existing subscription

For example, if a user subscribes to a service with monthly price $100, with 10 users for a year. The company gave a 10% one-time discount. So the total amount of the subscription is $10,800. If the user adds another 10 users on the 7th month mid-term,

 

  • Not considering the booked price of the existing subscription: The total price of added 10 units in the last 6 months is $6000.
  • Considering the booked price of the existing subscription: The total price of 20 units in the last 6 months is $12, 000. The user has already booked $10,800 * (6 / 12) = $5,400. Thus the total price would be $6,600 ($12,000 - $5,400).

Section

Label

Enable Auto-Renew.  Once this is turned on, an auto-renew job will be scheduled on a nightly basis.

General 

Use Net Sales Price of Last Subscription Term for Auto Renewal

Use the net sales price of the last subscription version during auto-renew process only.  

If this option is not enabled, but 'Use the net sales price of the last subscription term" option is enabled for change orders in general, we will also use the net sales price of the last subscription term for renewals, including manual renewals and automatic renewals.

Renewal Notification

Customers' contacts will be notified for the upcoming renewal 30 days for the upcoming renewal before the subscription end date. We will use autoRenewalEmailTemplate 

 email template to send the notification email.

System Admin can set up the Renewal Notification Preferences, including:

  • Renew X days before subscriptions' End Date

  • Configure email template for the Renewal notification.

  • Setup filters to only send notifications for specific customers or subscriptions
Once enabled, the scheduled job will look for all active subscriptions whose end date is X days later (X is configured by the customer), and send out an email notification to the Customer Authorized By (contact) of the subscription. If this field is null, then take the first contact of the associated account.
 
Please see a Renewal Template Example here. The template can be configured in Salesforce.
 
When the user wipes out the first field (the number of Days) with the setting enabled, then Nue will send out the renewal notification to customers' contacts 30 days (default) before the subscription's End Date. 
 

Automated Renewals

Renew auto-renewed subscriptions 

2 days before their subscription end date.
days before their subscription end date.
Renewal

The Auto Renewal Scheduled Job will look for all active subscriptions whose end date is within 2 days (unless configured differently), and renew them in batches.

  • Subscriptions will be grouped by Account, and one order will be created to contain renewals for all subscriptions in this account.

  • During renewal, orders are created and activated. Newer versions of subscriptions are created.

  • Change history records are created.

Automatically create quotes or opportunities

If it is configured to automatically generate renewal opportunities 2 days (unless configured differently) before the subscription end date, Nue will run a scheduled job to create Renewal Opportunities and Renewal Quotes for the subscriptions ending 2 days (unless configured differently) later. 

 

Disable auto-renew

If the admin user would like to disable the auto-renewal of subscriptions (instead, only renewal quotes and opportunities are generated for the renewals), they can wipe out the first field as shown in the screenshot below. In this case, the auto-renewal will not happen. However, if the checkboxes are checked, the renewal opportunities and renewal quotes for the auto-renew subscriptions will still be generated.
