2 As you explore new markets and new digital business models, regardless of industry, being able to accurately invoice your end customers while compensating your partners in creative and sometimes complex revenue sharing agreements is critical. Both customers and partners are asking for the same invoicing capabilities: accuracy, personalization, comprehension, flexibility and availability at every touchpoint. Customers want to easily check their invoices and monitor their consumption in real-time on any device. And when they subscribe to multiple services, they want to consolidate them into a single invoice overview, including discounts, taxes and other billing variations. Partners want clear and accurate accounting of all revenue sharing transactions, ensuring payments or credits for their part of your ecosystem are trustworthy. To deliver on their requirements, you need a personalized, trustworthy invoice solution that works for everyone and enables you to manage billing in high volumes. About Invoicing with SAP Hybris Billing SAP Hybris Billing offers a flexible solution for automating the billing and invoicing process. Consolidate service pricing from multiple sources to produce easily understandable invoices and discounts that drive loyalty, enhance cash flow, and increase customer engagement. The invoicing component of SAP Hybris Billing pulls rated events, or even complete bills, from several upstream, multi-vendor rating or billing streams, and then consolidates the information into a single converged invoicing document. The resulting document can then be enriched with flexible discounts, multiple aggregations, different levels of detail, and notifications about prior payment activity or late payments. The final invoice output can be designed and personalized to your company s branding and to the customer s needs using the delivery channel best suited to your customer. 2 / 5
