Finance — Subsidy
Subsidy affects eligibility, billing/payment, and reporting. It lives under Finance in this wiki because the current OpenSpec surface is small and most interactions are financial.
Concepts
| Concept | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SubsidyAcceptance | Per-attendee, date-bounded subsidy approval/eligibility record. |
| Subsidy policy | Rules for applying subsidy by site, BU, program, or country. |
| Site licence setup | Site-level configuration that enables subsidy behavior. |
| Allocation | How subsidy is applied to billing, invoice, or payment obligations. |
Interactions
| Domain | Interaction |
|---|---|
| Booking | Subsidy can affect deposit eligibility or pricing context. |
| Payment | Deposit eligibility reads attendee SubsidyAcceptance, not account-level shorthand. |
| Finance | Subsidy can affect amount, allocation, and reporting. |
| Master Data | Site, BU, attendee, and dates define subsidy scope. |
Rules to remember
- Eligibility should be attendee/date-range specific.
- Subsidy configuration is not the same thing as payment received.
- When subsidy changes, check finance/payment/reporting effects, not only UI display.
