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. ACV = 100, TCV = 150, ARR = 150/(18/12), MRR = 100/12 Seems somebody just made a legacy decision and users are suffering for it.
