Description (goal/purpose)

Lumen Cloud will default to having one Billing Account Number (BAN) per Hierarchy that is automatically generated upon signing up for the service. We do have the capability to separate Master and Sub-Accounts onto different BANs, if requested.

  • Sub-Accounts can be billed separately from their Master Account, and separate from each other

Audience

  • Customers

Prerequisites

There must be a Master and a Sub-Account within the same hierarchy, currently billing on the same invoice before making this request

FAQ

Is it possible to give my first Sub-Account a new BAN, but keep my second Sub Account under the Master Accounts BAN?

Yes, our program will default to having all sub-accounts under the master's BAN, unless requested otherwise. If you request for a specific sub-account to be associated to a new BAN, that sub-account (and any sub-account built under that sub account) will be the only account that is associated to the new BAN.

If I have Sub-Accounts under the Sub-Account that I am requesting a new BAN for, will they also get new BANs?

No, the Main Sub-Account will be the only account that receives a new BAN. However, if you would like those sub-accounts to have their own BAN as well, please add that request to the ticket.

Is there a limit to how many BANs I can add to my hierarchy?

You can have as many BANs as you have Account Aliases.

Can I have multiple BANS on one Sub-Account?

No, you can only have one BAN per Account Alias.
