Auditable to the last line.
Every invoice traces back to the events, prices and overrides behind it, and audit logs record who changed what. The engine is open source, so auditors can check the math too.
ENTERPRISE
Enterprise Billing, from Signed Contract to Recognized Revenue
Lago turns negotiated deals into accurate invoices. Quote from your plan catalog, version every negotiation round, and approve it into an order form. Overrides, commitments, prepaid credits and usage charges then bill automatically across entities, sync to your ERP, and flow into revenue recognition.
One contract, end to end
Enterprise deals combine negotiated pricing, ramped commitments, usage overages, several billing entities and tax in every region. Lago bills the whole contract in one system.
Contract
Year one is quoted from the plan catalog, negotiated into overrides and approved into an order form. Once it is signed, executing the order creates the subscription with every override in place.
Corvane and Hooli are illustrative companies. A signed order form in Lago between Hooli Inc. and Corvane Inc.: a platform license at $240,000 a year, routing API calls with 50 million included a month then $0.40 per 1,000, telematics devices at €11 a month, and minimum commitments of $600,000, $900,000 and $1,200,000 over three years.
The enterprise contract lifecycle
1. Quote and negotiate
Sales quotes from the plan catalog finance already bills on. Negotiated terms are saved as overrides, only what differs from the plan. Every round is a versioned revision, and approval generates the order form.
2. Model the contract
Executing the signed order creates the subscription, with nothing re-keyed. Overrides, commitments, coupons and prepaid credits carry over as approved. Each subscription bills from its own entity and currency.
3. Amend mid-term
An amendment quote reprices a live subscription. Upgrades apply immediately, prorated by the day, with a credit note for unused days. Downgrades apply at period end.

Daily recognition

- Recognized at Jan 31

A $50.00 monthly fee invoiced in advance on January 1 starts in deferred revenue. Lago recognizes about $1.61 each day of January, so deferred revenue drains to zero by January 31, with the final day absorbing the rounding.
Recognize revenue and close the books.Each fee is recognized day by day across its service period, with deferred revenue, statements and journal entries ready for the close.

Enterprise billing FAQ
Can Lago bill a multi-year contract with a ramped commitment?
Yes. Each contract year is a yearly subscription with its own minimum commitment, scheduled to start on its anniversary. Usage and fixed fees count toward the commitment. If they fall short at year end, Lago invoices the difference as a true-up fee.
How does a signed quote become billing?
Sales builds the quote from your plan catalog, and negotiated changes are saved as overrides. Every round is a new version. Approval generates the order form, and once it is marked as signed, executing the order creates or updates the subscription with its overrides, coupons and prepaid credits.
Can one customer be billed from several legal entities and currencies?
Yes. A customer's currency and billing entity are defaults, not constraints. Each subscription, coupon, one-off invoice or wallet can use a different currency and entity, and its invoices are issued by that entity, with its own numbering, address and tax settings.
How does Lago handle sales tax and VAT?
Lago integrates with Avalara and Anrok to calculate US sales tax and VAT on each invoice. Lago's own EU tax management validates VAT numbers against VIES and applies reverse charge to cross-border B2B invoices.
What syncs to our ERP and CRM?
NetSuite and Xero receive customers, invoices, credit notes and payments in real time. In NetSuite, each billing entity maps to a subsidiary and tax is reconciled to the cent. Salesforce receives customers, subscriptions, invoices and credit notes, and an approved CPQ quote can create the subscription in Lago. HubSpot receives customers, subscriptions and invoices, one way.
Does Lago recognize revenue?
Yes. Revenue recognition turns invoices, usage and credit notes into recognized and deferred revenue under ASC 606 and IFRS 15, day by day across each service period. It reports recognized revenue, deferred revenue, the revenue waterfall, statements and journal entries. It is a premium feature.
How does Lago collect overdue invoices?
Dunning campaigns retry the payment through your payment provider, or email a payment request, on the thresholds, attempts and delays you set per billing entity or customer. The Dunning Agent, in beta, reads twelve months of each customer's payment history first, then waits, retries a declined card, drafts a reminder for the net amount still owed, or hands the account to a person.
Where can Lago run, and how is it audited?
Use Lago Cloud, which is SOC 2 Type II certified, or self-host in your VPC, on-premise or air-gapped. The billing engine is open source, so security teams can review the code, and audit logs record who changed what, from the dashboard or the API.
How do we migrate from a homegrown billing system?
Move one pricing model or customer segment at a time through the API, run invoices in parallel against your current system, then cut over once they match. The rest of your billing keeps running while you migrate.
