SuiteBilling

BlueSnap Global Payments for NetSuite app supports NetSuite SuiteBilling for invoices, which allows you to create subscriptions so you can sell services or non-inventory items to your customers over a period of time. SuiteBilling automates the recurring subscription management and billing, which gives you a more compliant, efficient billing process with less invoicing errors while providing your customers a convenient purchasing option.

BlueSnap Setup

After you complete your setup in BlueSnap, there is no more additional configuration—SuiteBilling is ready to process after you complete the SuiteBilling Setup. You can use SuiteBilling with any invoice that was processed with a BlueSnap Payment profile.

SuiteBilling Setup

SuiteBilling provides many options to customize your subscription workflows. The following sections provide an overview of the setup steps. For comprehensive details, refer to SuiteBilling Setup in the NetSuite documentation.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, be sure to complete the Setting the SuiteBilling Preferences. You cannot enable any SuiteBilling features until the following actions are completed:

• Consolidating Projects on Sales Orders
• Disabling Employee Commissions

Completing the Setup

After you complete the prerequisites, complete the remaining setup actions. The following items highlight the main steps:

• Enabling SuiteBilling Features — Go to Setup > Company > Enable Features. Select the Transactions subtab.
  After you complete the SuiteBilling preferences, your NetSuite administrator must enable this list of billing features on your company profile. You also learn how you can use SuiteBilling with multiple subsidiaries.
• Optional Preferences for SuiteBilling — Go to Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences. On the Classifications subtab, select the checkbox for each preference that you want to set.
• Creating Items for Subscription Plans — Go to Lists > Accounting > Items > New.
  Subscription items must be either a non-inventory item or a service item for sale. Other item types are not available on subscription plans.
• Configuring Subscription Items for Revenue Recognition — Set up Advanced Revenue Management (Essentials) and Advanced Revenue Management (Revenue Allocation) to generate a revenue element for each subscription line.
• Create Subscription Plans — When you create a subscription plan, you specify the items to include in the subscription, such as recurring services, usage, commit plus overage, and one-time charges.
• Creating Price Books — Define the pricing for a collection of items or services that are sold as part of a subscription plan.
• Creating Price Plans — Every item in a subscription plan must have an associated price plan. You must create a price plan for every pricing interval in a price book.
• Creating Billing Accounts — A billing account record shows all billing information for a customer or sub-customer, including the billing schedule, default payment terms, ship-to-address, and currency.
  To enable billing accounts, you must first set the Consolidate Projects on Sales Transactions preference and enable the Charge-Based Billing and Billing Accounts features.
