Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Customers
Billing and Invoices
Overview

Through the MobiWork web interface, you will be able to set different price lists for different customers, products, or services.

This section will highlight some of the most commonly asked questions regarding pricing for customers.

Yearly or Monthly Pricing for Customers

You can set up different pricing (year or monthly) for your customers. This can be done through the MSRP pricing for yearly and monthly services in the Parts & Services page.

For more information about setting up different pricing options, please see the Add a Part or Service.

If pricing is different for each client or you offer different programs, (e.g., Silver, Gold, Platinum, etc.), MobiWork also has a Price List feature. The Price List feature will allow you to set-up specific pricing per customer or create group pricing with an overall percentage discount from your MSRP; this also includes pricing at the part/service level:

For more information about the Price List, please see the Price Lists page.

Different Pricing for Different Customer Programs

If you have customer pricing based on a program or contract that is purchased by the customer, you can easily set up the pricing structure in MobiWork.

Billing Address is Different from Service Address

In MobiWork you will be able to set up a billable address that is different from the service address. There are a few options that you can utilize depending on your use-case:

  1. In the View Customer pop-up window’s “Location” tab, the first location is designated as the bill-to address. Any additional addresses would be considered service addresses.
  2. You can access more customer billing options (e.g., invoice terms per customer, etc.) through the View Customer pop-up window’s “Billing” tab. On the “Billing” tab, access the “Information” tab to view the Invoice Creation Details and Billing address. For more information about accessing the billing information from the View Customer pop-up window, please see View Customer page.

  3. If the bill-to address is another customer that you have to set up in MobiWork, you can access the View Customer pop-up window’s “Billing” tab and select the desired customer who is supposed to receive the bill.
