The customer balance

The customer balance is an amount in the customer’s currency, which Orb automatically applies to subsequent invoices. This balance can be adjusted manually via Orb’s webapp on the customer details page. You can use this balance to provide a fixed mid-period credit to the customer. Commonly, this is done due to system downtime/SLA violation, or an adhoc adjustment discussed with the customer.

If the balance is a positive value at the time of invoicing, it represents that the customer has credit that should be used to offset the amount due on the next issued invoice. In this case, Orb will automatically reduce the next invoice by the balance amount, and roll over any remaining balance if the invoice is fully discounted.

If the balance is a negative value at the time of invoicing, Orb will increase the invoice’s amount due with a positive adjustment, and reset the balance to 0.
