Stand-alone Transactions in SaaS Metric Reporting

The Stand-alone Transaction use case tracks the impact of isolated transactions on your SaaS metrics, including new sales, upsells, downsells, churn, and renewals. A stand-alone transaction is defined by unique start and end dates on the transaction header and does not maintain revision history.

Source Records

Stand-alone transactions can originate from:

  • Sales Orders

  • Invoices

  • Cash Sales
