Overview

Knowing if your customer's contract is too high or too low can help you maintain happy customers. This alert will monitor base and/or overages/underages so you can get ahead of any contract adjustments to consider. It can serve as quick heads-up to reps or management about individual invoices that might produce a shock when the customer opens them.

 

Run Schedule:  Weekly on Monday mornings

Type of Output: Email

Alert Functionality

Alert Functionality

 

This alert looks at individual contract billings on an invoice, not the overall contract performance. It considers dollars-billed in addition to clicks-billed, which allows it to consider contracts with BaseRate but zero covered clicks. 

This alert cannot trigger when the BaseRate is $0 or the CoveredClicks is 0 since it has no number to compare actual-billed values to; although, as long as it has either a BaseRate or CoveredClicks it can be monitored for that one dimension.

Variables W and Y enable you to dial in the 'minimum contracts' to consider (for instance, you might not care that you billed a customer 200% over Base when the Base is $20).

The alert looks back 14-days for invoice created dates (not date on invoice).
