Overview

Emersion supports two types of discounts on contracts. Service providers can choose a discount to apply:

• the life of the contract - as a per period credit
• for a fixed time limit - as a per period credit that is time-limited.

In both cases, the discount is applied to the customer's account each package period if the contract is active against a customer's package subscription.

In the case of the ongoing per period discount, the ledger code is predetermined and cannot be changed. However in the case of a time-limited discount, users can select the ledger code that will be used by the system. Credit cardlines are created each period and a purchase is also created.
