Annual billing frequency inhibits flexible terms - Line items
Hubspot Line item editor does not allow flexible terms when Billing Frequency = Annual, is selected.
This is a major incovenience when our internal price list for our subscription products is defined for a 12month term,
In my industry, we sell any flexible term there is and invoice once a year for any 'yearfrac' duration there is remaing.
E.g. we sell a 18 month term for a product with list price = 100.
Then we have:
Duration is 18 months = 1.5 years 2 billing events
1st years invoice is 100,
2nd years invoice is 50.
This system limitation should be removed. Not every saas product is billed monthly or as a one-off, so this standardization is very inconvinient for larger saas portfolios. I'd have to convert my list price to a monthly price in order to work with Hubspot CPQ line editor, that's just bad user experience.
I've configured a 12 month list price using Salesforce CPQ which worked just fine.
Furthermore, there is NO reason this would skew the measures calculated above.
