Add-ons: static IPs, managed routers and other extras

An add-on rides on a main service. Its cost rolls into that service's bill check so the circuit and its extras read as one expense.

2 min

Carriers bill some things on another service's invoice: a block of static IPs on a circuit, a managed router, a voicemail-to-email pack on a phone system. Recorded as separate services they look like bills that never arrive; folded into the circuit's price they lose their own contract dates and notes. An add-on is both: its own record, billed on its main service.

  1. Open the main service, the circuit or phone system the extra is billed on.
  2. Under Add-ons, choose Add an add-on. The form starts on the same provider, category, location and account number.
  3. Give it a type (Static IPs, Managed router, or whatever fits), its own monthly cost, and any term of its own.
  4. Save. The main service now shows its price with add-ons, and its bills are checked against the two together.

What changes

  • The main service's bill check expects its own price plus every live add-on's price.
  • The add-on is never listed as missing a bill; its bills are the main service's.
  • Totals count each price once: the circuit's and the add-on's, with no double counting.
  • An add-on can be moved to another main service, or made a service of its own, from Edit details.
