You can configure automatic billing to enable Kaspersky Security Integration with Autotask to create, and update daily, the Contract Service Adjustments for accounts in Autotask. When automatic billing is configured, information about usage of Kaspersky security applications on managed computers is transferred to Autotask automatically, allowing faster periodic generation of invoices for your customers.
Automatic billing works according to the following rules:
Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP runs automatic billing daily, so that you have up-to-date usage information in Autotask any time you have to generate an invoice for a client.
Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP creates Service Adjustments to Autotask Contracts only for those Kaspersky security applications that are mapped to Autotask Services.
For each account with a specified Contract that is mapped to a virtual server or a company, Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP calculates how many devices managed by this virtual server or belonging to this company utilize licenses for Kaspersky security applications. Only unexpired and active commercial keys and subscriptions are counted. Also, Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP calculates how many Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Office 365 mailboxes are protected.
If you enabled the Bill devices by category feature when mapping Kaspersky security applications and Autotask services, different types of devices (Windows servers, Windows workstations, non-Windows devices) are counted separately.
In this case, Autotask analyzes the type of client device that uses the Kaspersky license. Data about each Kaspersky security application license used by the device is associated with the Autotask service mapped to this Kaspersky security application.
For example, if a client company uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced on 100 devices, where 90 of them are workstations and 10 are servers, Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP does the following:
Creates a Contract Service Adjustment on 90 devices for the Autotask service for workstations.
Creates a Contract Service Adjustment on 10 devices for the Autotask service for servers.
Every time the number of devices that utilize licenses for Kaspersky security applications or the number of protected mailboxes changes, Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP generates a Service Adjustment for the Contract associated with the account. This Service Adjustment contains information on how usage of the Kaspersky security applications changed.
