Subscription Module Vendor Invoice Discrepancy Over Dates

(6) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,144
So, I've got Subscriptions all set up, I've got good customer sales invoices but I have a discrepancy in the vendor invoice.
 
Here is the Subscription withe lines (I set end date and term until to 2099 on month to month agreements since BC does not like those dates empty).
 
 
The customer invoice has the right price of $20:

 
But the vendor invoice does not show the cost of $18 for this subscription line, it prorates it down a day it seems but leaves the other lines their proper price.

 
It seems the subscription period of 1/6/25-2/4/25 in the vendor invoice vs the period of 1/6/ to 2/5 in the customer invoice plays a factor but I have no idea how to change the vendor invoice period.  It's like the logic is different.
 
Hopefully someone can help.  I need to get this rolled out so we can invoice our customers.

    Yeah, it appears when the invoice does not match up to the month -1 timeline, it adjusts the proration.

    Here's another one.

    It would seem that the vendor invoices need to standardize the end date of the billing period of the specific line where the customer invoices don't.  They seem to adhere well to the date parameters of the subscription lines.
     
    Here are lines from one of our customer contracts with several different M365 plans.  It still invoices the right amounts:

    If I can't combine subscription contract lines in vendor invoices the same way my vendor does, that really wrecks one of the biggest positives of this module.

    Thanks, Zhu but none of that addresses what I'm referring to in this inquiry.  It's specific to how vendor invoices process and appear to try to homgonize dates where customer invoices don't (unless you set the subscription contract Type code to do so.

    For now, I've just concluded to make a new adjustment line in the purchase invoice and hope this first round sets the rhythm right for future invoicing rounds.

    Yeah, this issue appears to be related to how the subscriptions recognize dates.  The 28 day month of Feb messes up the calculations for example on the vendor invoices.  I just created a non-inventory item "M365-Adjustments" and use it to get vendor invoices to match up.  Irritating.

    I have submitted to join that community twice and nothing back.  I wish I had access.
