Crayon Cloud iQ in IDA: bill Microsoft licences to the day
Cloud licences change daily, the invoice happens monthly - the manual work sits in between. IDA reconciles the quantities from Crayon Cloud iQ with your contracts automatically and charges additions pro rata.
This integration feeds subscription quantities straight intocontract billing- to the day, with pro-rata charges for additions.
What IDA reads from Crayon Cloud iQ
- Active subscriptions per customer with quantity and term
- The billing cycle (monthly or annual) per subscription
- Catalogue prices: cost and recommended retail price per cycle
- Renewal dates
What IDA does with it
- Contract quantities follow the actual subscriptions - no monthly counting
- Additions are charged pro rata for the remaining period
- Items and prices can be created from the catalogue automatically
- A change of billing cycle does not create a second subscription, it raises itself for review
Who it is for
Microsoft CSP partners buying through Crayon who no longer want to run the resale billing in spreadsheets.
Setup: Store API access, map customers, confirm the item mapping - the reconciliation then runs on a schedule.
Every integration in IDA has its own switch. Turn it off and it disappears completely - including the columns, filters and reports that belong to it. You only see what you actually use.
Vendor website: Crayon Cloud iQ. Crayon Cloud iQ is a trademark of its respective owner; IDA connects to the system technically, which implies no partnership.

Questions about the Crayon Cloud iQ integration
What happens when a customer adds licences mid-year?
The additional quantity is charged pro rata for the rest of the billing period - at the level of the individual subscription line, not as the difference of a total.
Does IDA write into running billing unasked?
Every quantity change written lands in an audit journal. Anything unusual is reported as a note rather than corrected quietly.
Can I use several purchasing sources in parallel?
Yes. Crayon, ALSO, Tarox, Cloud Factory and Hornetsecurity can run at the same time; each source brings its own quantities.
