Group-Level Connector Fee Billing

The monthly connector fee, previously billable only per account, can now be billed to a user group's Financial owner for the chargers scoped to that group.

The flat monthly connector fee can be billed at the user group level, paid by the group's Financial owner, for the chargers scoped to that group. This extends the account-level connector fee down to the group, so an operator running several sub-customers under one account can charge each group's Financial owner for their own chargers' hardware fee. A single Financial owner covers both members' charging sessions and the connector fee.

  • Two independent billing sections: The Edit group dialog has two collapsible sections: Member billing (charging the owner for members' sessions, as before) and Connector billing. Each has its own enable toggle, and only one is expanded at a time. Either or both can be enabled.

  • Read-only charger list: Connector billing lists the group's chargers (charger ID and site). Chargers join a group only through Charger scope = Groups, so to add or remove one, change that charger's scope.

  • Fee and tax: When connector billing is on, set a monthly fee and an optional tax rate (labeled VAT, GST or Tax according to the operator's country).

  • Financial owner required: The connector billing toggle stays disabled until a Financial owner is set. Clearing the owner disables it and shows a notice.

  • No double-charging: A charger's connector fee is billed either through its group or through the account, never both. Group-billed chargers drop off the account connector total, and the Account billing screen shows a note and count explaining the reduction.

  • What the owner is billed: On the monthly run, the Financial owner is charged (billable connectors × monthly fee) + tax, shown as a Connector fee line item on their statement.

  • Chargers in more than one group: These cannot be billed until reassigned to a single group. The save is blocked with a message listing the affected chargers.
