If you bill customers on a recurring basis, somewhere there is a spreadsheet that tracks who gets invoiced, for how much, and until when. It works until a quantity changes mid-term, a notice period gets missed, or someone asks what your monthly recurring revenue actually is and three people give three answers.
Business Central has subscription billing built in, and most teams running recurring revenue have never turned it on. In one hour we will walk the whole path: setting up what you sell, turning a sale into a live subscription, grouping subscription lines under a contract, and running the recurring billing that comes out the other end. We will cover the parts people underestimate, including notice periods and renewals, usage-based billing from imported supplier data, and deferrals that put revenue and cost in the month they belong to.
Bring your messiest billing scenario. We will talk through where it lands in the model.
What we will cover
- Contracts, subscriptions, and subscription lines, and why the difference matters when something changes mid-term
- Recurring billing runs, billing templates, and billing proposals
- Notice periods and renewals calculated for you instead of tracked by hand
- Usage-based billing when the invoice depends on what the customer consumed
- Deferrals that recognize revenue and cost in the right period
Who should attend
Finance and operations leaders at companies with recurring revenue: maintenance and support agreements, managed services, rentals, memberships, or anything else billed on a cycle. Useful whether you are already on Business Central or deciding what a move would need to handle.

I’m David Rhue. I help people and businesses cut through noise and complexity so they can focus on what matters. By trade, I’m an ERP guy, two decades deep in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. I’ve led full-scale transformations, turned chaotic systems into clarity, and shown companies how technology can actually serve people, not the other way around. That’s the work that pays the bills. But for me, it’s never just been about the software; it’s about people gaining confidence, teams breathing easier, leaders making smarter calls. But I’m more than a consultant. I’m a writer. Words are how I make sense of the world, from technology insights on my blog, The BC Dr., to fiction writing that provokes thought. Writing lets me connect dots between business and story, systems and humanity. I’m also a speaker. Put me in a room, and I’ll make the technical feel simple, practical, and meaningful. I’ve spoken at major industry events, including Dynamics Community Summit and Directions, and represented firms at client and partner gatherings.
