Auto-Calculated Deal Termination

When renewing a customer early, it can be useful to include any revenue that you will lose for resigning them early in your profit calculations. The Layer now has the capability to calculate these figures and automatically add then to the Deal Termination area in any applicable quotations. 

N.B. The assets that you would like to base the deal termination calculation against will have to be added to the opportunity. For more information on adding assets to opportunities please see here.

If you attached assets to a renewal opportunity, then if you enable the feature as described below then whenever you raise a quotation, the outstanding profit (based on margin or remaining OGR) on those services will be calculated and taken off the profits automatically as a deal termination entry.

If you want to check which assets the termination has been calculated from you will be able to view these assets within this screen and quote by clicking the Mapped opportunities tab in the deal termination zone.

You should also map these assets to the new tariffs you are adding to replace them, this can then pull through to the sales order. For more information click here.
