Self-Billing & Channel Payments

QUIXOTIC automates the entire channel payment cycle: from commission calculation to self-billing invoice generation and the SEPA payment file. The only manual step is dragging the file into your bank.

How it works

Every time an invoice is issued to an end customer, the system checks whether that customer came through a sales channel. If so, it automatically generates a commission line (positive or negative) linked to that channel, based on the agreed terms.

When it's time to pay (daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly), QUIXOTIC:

→ Groups all pending commissions by channel
→ Generates the self-billing invoice using the channel's own invoice series
→ Sends the self-billing invoice to the channel for their accounting records
→ Generates the SEPA payment file, ready for the bank

Self-billing

A self-billing invoice is a document the energy supplier issues on the channel's behalf. Each channel has its own invoice series within QUIXOTIC. The channel receives the invoice by email and adds it to their accounting without having to generate anything on their end.

SEPA payment file

Every system in the sector has a SEPA collection file for charging end customers. Almost none has a SEPA payment file for paying channels. In practice, this means energy suppliers pay their channels one by one, manually, from the bank.

In QUIXOTIC, the SEPA payment file is generated automatically with all pending commissions for the period. The energy supplier drags it into the bank, and payment is executed for all channels at once.

The result for the channel

The channel doesn't have to chase anything. They can check their commissions in real time from their portal. They receive the self-billing invoice by email. And payment arrives on the agreed date. More on Sales & Commissions tracking →
