Invoice Flow Overview
Order and Invoice flow
You place a order with sangoma by emailing our Order desk if you are setup for this process and we will input the order into the Sangoma Portal or placing your order directly in the Sangoma Portal yourself at http://portal.sangoma.com
You can review this wiki on how to Place Orders in the Sangoma Portal
Once you order is placed in the Sangoma Portal the following flow happen depending on what payment options you picked.
Pre Pay Customers
Pre Pay Customers are any Customers that have not had Credit Terms approved by Sangoma Finance team. On the checkout page of the Sangoma Portal if your account is not setup with Terms you will not see a option to place a order under Terms and are considered a Pre Pay Customer and fit into the Order Flow defined here.
At order time when you place your order and you are not a Customer established with Credit Terms you have options on Check out between paying with Credit Card, Mailing a Check or Making a Wire Transfer
Pre Pay Customers - Credit Card Payment Method
On the checkout page of the Sangoma Portal you will see the following Payment options if you are a Pre Pay Customer
At order time we do a capture of the full amount of the Order and Shipping on your credit card and apply it as a pending payment onto your Order. The Order will enter the Status in our Portal as In Process under the Orders Tab.
When the order is full-filled 1 or more invoices will be created and the Credit Card capture we did on your order at the time your placed your order will be applied to the invoice(s) as a payments.
If your order is for only software and/or support and services the order will auto create the invoice and auto complete the order and apply the payment at the time you place the order.
If your order is for hardware and also includes software and/or support and services the order will be queued up in the In Process tab and once the hardware is allocated for your order and serial numbers are added to your hardware items the system will create a Invoice and auto complete your order and apply the payment it captured at order time to your invoice.
Generally a single order will create a single invoice expect in the cases below.
If their are hardware items to ship on the invoice and some of the items are on backorder you will see more than 1 invoice generated as we only generate a invoice at fulfillment time as they ship the product to you.
If their are hardware items to ship on the invoice and we have to ship the hardware from 2 different Sangoma facilities a invoice from each facility for the items they shipped will be generated against your order.
Once the order is 100% full-filled your Order will change to a status of Completed in our Portal under the Orders Tab.
