Sales Channels

What's Sales Channels and why it is "view only"?

If you feel it's confusing, this section can be hidden from the new panel. For that you should go to Classic Panel → Settings and hide it. 

Account Management

What is Rated Data Export (RDE)?

Rated Data Export is an additional component that allows you to generate and export reports about rated transactions. 

The generated report contains information about the transaction itself: price, cost, associated customer, order/customer attribute, etc. This information can be used in other reseller's internal systems, for reconciliations, etc.

Rated Data Export component covers both types of transactions:

  • When resellers are considered as resellers of provider's services and they resell services to end customers.
  • When resellers are considered as customers of a provider and they purchase services from the provider for their own use.

You can generate a one-time report on demandor create a schedule for auto-generationon a monthly or daily basis. A monthly report is automatically generated on a selected date every month with data for the previous month. A daily report is automatically generated every day with data for the previous calendar day.

Reports are available in CSV, XML, JSON, XLSX formats. All the generated reports are stored in the Cloud Storage for 90 days. After that period, they are automatically removed.

The report contains the following information:

  • Account
  • Subscription
  • Subscription's service plan
  • Subscription's resource
  • Charge
  • Order
  • Invoice data

From both sides, reseller's and customer's.

How Can I Find COGS Reports?

Why still using COGS/Custom Report?

We highly recommend you to use RDE as a more universal and stable tool, however in the following cases you may still need COGS report:
  • If you need to get report automatically when new invoices are issued 
  • If you need to customize the report format
  • If you need to input several e-mail addresses for delivering notifications

Although all of the above will be available in RDE in the upcoming releases.
