By default, Ripple only displays the minimum required items.
This article describes how to configure settings if you want to add additional billable items to an invoice beyond this default configuration.
For example, this function is used when you want to include additional costs such as:
Development costs
Operation and maintenance costs
License fees
Or if you want to add negative amounts for items such as special discounts, this feature allows you to do so.
1. Register Additional Items
You can set up additional items on a per-billing-group basis.
1. From the Account/Group > Billing Groups page, click Edit Billing Group option from the ... menu on the right of each billing group.
2. In the Miscellaneous section, click + Add item. Fill in the Item Name, Unit Cost, and Quantity, then click Create. Check the box and Save to register.
Note: If you uncheck the box to the left of each additional item, the data you entered will be saved, but it won't appear on the invoice.
2. Reflecting Additional Items on Invoices
For Months Where the Invoice Has Not Yet Been Created (and Exchange Rate Not Registered)
If the invoice has not been created for a given month, the settings configured on the billing group page will be directly reflected. Therefore, if there are no changes to the items registered in [1. Register Additional Items], simply creating the invoice will automatically include the additional items.
For Months Where the Invoice Has Already Been Created
If you want to reflect the additional items added in [1. Register Additional Items] to an invoice that has already been created, please recreate it using the following steps:
Go to Invoices > Invoice Management , check the billing group where the additional items were registered.
At the top-right corner of the page, select Edit Settings > under Invoice Setting, choose the relevant Cloud Provider (AWS / GCP / Azure).
On the Change invoice setting screen, click the Revert to Billing Group Settings button at the bottom-left to reflect the invoice settings configured on the billing group page.
Make any necessary changes and click Change Settings.
Recreating the invoice for the relevant billing group will then reflect the additional items.
