Metadata provided on the user file can be extremely helpful in many aspects of your employee recognition platform. Billing is one area metadata can be used to break up funding requests. Awardco’s standard billing process is configured to send funding requests on a monthly cadence to the contact(s) provided to our finance team. By using the additional employee information passed over on the user file, separate funding requests can be sent to distinct departments or contacts in your organization.
For this billing option to function successfully, the Points Awarded billing method must be adopted and the metadata used to separate funding requests must come from user file uploads. Splitting invoices by budget is not an option unless a metadata column matches your budget structure. Billing for your organization can be separated by metadata up to a maximum of 10 funding requests. All funding requests will be sent to the email(s) provided to our finance team.
We strongly recommend basing the split of funding requests on award recipients and not award givers. For example, if someone in department A recognizes someone in department B, department B would receive the funding request for this recognition. This ensures a simplified billing set up and easier platform management.
