Review Activity Type Billing Configurations

Follow

 

Activity types provide a way for you to:

  • Categorize reservations
  • Track training and/or billing status
  • Identify and correct training and/or billing mismatches
  • Define scheduling and dispatching rules

To optimize Billing Configuration of Activity Types you'll want to review the Scheduling & Dispatch Requirements and Billing.

Scheduling & Dispatch Requirements

Scheduling & Dispatch requirements can be put in place for Customers and/or Instructors and can be set to require specific documents on their profile, aircraft checkouts, and billing requirements. Scheduling & Dispatch Requirements can be set to be:

  •  Scheduling Requirement/Dispatch Requirement - requirement will need to be satisfied before being scheduled and therefore before being dispatched
  • Schedule Warning/Dispatch Requirement - will give a warning the requirement is not satisfied during scheduling but will be a requirement before dispatching
  • Dispatch Requirement - will only be a requirement at time of dispatch

"Customer Balance not below" can be configured to require a person's balance to have a specific amount of funds available before the flight is scheduled and/or dispatched, this can be a positive or negative number to support your company's requirement.

 

Example Case Uses
  • You require your customers to maintain an account balance of at least $500. Set this to "Customer Balance not below $500"
  • You allow your customer run a negative balance of only 1 activity transaction. Set this to "Customer Balance not below -$1."

"Customer has valid payment method on file" can be enabled when integrated with payment processing to require a person's account to have a valid payment method on file before being scheduled and/or dispatched. Customers can store a credit card on file and/or a bank account for ACH transactions.

Billing

Instruction Types have pricing set to them within Products & Services. It is recommend to have the Instruction Types configured to support the billing that would be associated to that activity type. If you have a tiered billing structure, it would be recommended to create multiple activity types with each one configured for the appropriate instruction types, this will reduce the possibility accidentally checking in the wrong instruction types during reservation Check In
