System Configuration
Connecting your business software
To get started, connect your business software to Core8. In the Core8 console, navigate to ‘Configuration’ ➔ ‘Integration’ and follow the prompts to link your software.
Configure your business behavior
While not mandatory, we recommend reviewing and, if necessary, updating the following configurations:
-
Define your products: Products can be defined either in your CRM, ERP, CPQ, or in Core8. Core8 will ensure your product catalog is fully synchronized across all your systems.
-
Define your billing behavior (in the Core8 console):
-
Invoice Generation Timing (for subscription billing):
- Advance Invoicing: Generate invoices before the month of service.
- Arrears Invoicing: Generate invoices after the month of service.
-
Billing Date Mode (for subscription billing):
- Recurring Interval: Defined in the deal (e.g., monthly, quarterly, yearly).
- Billing Date Mode: Can be one of the following:
- Anchor Date: Sets a specific day of the month when all future invoices will be calculated and sent to all customers.
- Deal Date: Invoices are calculated and sent to each customer on the day the deal was made.
-
By configuring these settings, you can tailor your billing process to better suit your business and customer needs.
-
Default invoice payment terms (Net + number of days)
-
Notifications: You can customize the default notification timeline, such as setting specific reminders for unpaid invoices.
