from [Fivetran's connector](https://fivetran.com/docs/applications/recharge) in the format described by [this ERD](https://fivetran.com/docs/applications/recharge#schemainformation) and build off the output of our [Recharge source package](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_recharge_source).\n- Enables you to better understand your Recharge data by summarizing customer, revenue, and subscription trends.\n- Generates a comprehensive data dictionary of your source and modeled Recharge data through the [dbt docs site](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/).\n\n\u003c!--section=\"recharge_transformation_model\"--\u003e\nThe following table provides a detailed list of all tables materialized within this package by default.\n\u003e TIP: See more details about these tables in the package's [dbt docs site](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/overview?g_v=1).\n\n| **Table** | **Description** |\n|-----------|-----------------|\n| [recharge__billing_history](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__billing_history) | Each record represents an order, enriched with metrics about related charges and line items. Line items are aggregated at the billing (order) level. |\n| [recharge__charge_line_item_history](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__charge_line_item_history) | Each record represents a specific line item charge, refund, or other line item that accumulates into final charges. |\n| [recharge__customer_daily_rollup](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__customer_daily_rollup) | Each record provides totals and running totals for a customer's associated transactions for the specified day. |\n| [recharge__customer_details](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__customer_details) | Each record represents a customer, enriched with metrics about their associated transactions. |\n| [recharge__monthly_recurring_revenue](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__monthly_recurring_revenue) | Each record represents a customer, MRR, and non-MRR generated on a monthly basis. |\n| [recharge__subscription_overview](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/7+model.recharge.recharge__subscription_overview) | Each record represents a subscription, enriched with customer and charge information. |\n| [recharge__line_item_enhanced](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__line_item_enhanced)       | This model constructs a comprehensive, denormalized analytical table that enables reporting on key revenue, subscription, customer, and product metrics from your billing platform. It’s designed to align with the schema of the `*__line_item_enhanced` model found in Recharge, Recurly, Stripe, Shopify, and Zuora, offering standardized reporting across various billing platforms. To see the kinds of insights this model can generate, explore example visualizations in the [Fivetran Billing Model Streamlit App](https://fivetran-billing-model.streamlit.app/). Visit the app for more details.  |\n\nAn example churn model is separately available in the analysis folder:\n| **analysis model** | **description** |\n|-----------|-----------------|\n| [recharge__account_churn_analysis](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/analysis/analysis.recharge.recharge__churn_analysis) | Each record represents a customer and their churn reason according to recharge's documentation. |\n\n### Example Visualizations\nCurious what these models can do? Check out example visualizations from the [recharge__line_item_enhanced](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_recharge/#!/model/model.recharge.recharge__line_item_enhanced) model in the [Fivetran Billing Model Streamlit App](https://fivetran-billing-model.streamlit.app/), and see how you can use these models in your own reporting. Below is a screenshot of an example report—-explore the app for more.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https://fivetran-billing-model.streamlit.app/\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fivetran/dbt_recharge/main/images/streamlit_example.png\" alt=\"Streamlit Billing Model App\" width=\"75%\"\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n### Materialized Models\nEach Quickstart transformation job run materializes 38 models if all components of this data model are enabled. This count includes all staging, intermediate, and final models materialized as `view`, `table`, or `incremental`.\n\u003c!--section-end--\u003e\n\n## How do I use the dbt package?\n### Step 1: Prerequisites\nTo use this dbt package, you must have the following:\n- At least one Fivetran Recharge connection syncing data into your destination\n- A **BigQuery**, **Snowflake**, **Redshift**, **PostgreSQL**, or **Databricks** destination\n\n### Step 2: Install the package\nInclude the following recharge package version in your `packages.yml` file.\n\u003e TIP: Check [dbt Hub](https://hub.getdbt.com/) for the latest installation instructions or [read the dbt docs](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/package-management) for more information on installing packages.\n```yaml\npackages:\n  - package: fivetran/recharge\n    version: [\"\u003e=0.3.0\", \"\u003c0.4.0\"] # we recommend using ranges to capture non-breaking changes automatically\n```\nDo **NOT** include the `recharge_source` package in this file. The transformation package itself has a dependency on it and will install the source package as well.\n\n#### Databricks Dispatch Configuration\nIf you are using a Databricks destination with this package, you must add the following dispatch configuration (or a variation thereof) within your `dbt_project.yml`. This is required for the package to accurately search for macros within the `dbt-labs/spark_utils` package, then the `dbt-labs/dbt_utils` package, respectively.\n\n```yml\ndispatch:\n  - macro_namespace: dbt_utils\n    search_order: ['spark_utils', 'dbt_utils']\n```\n### Step 3: Define database and schema variables\nBy default, this package runs using your destination and the `recharge` schema. If your Recharge data is in a different database or schema (for example, if your Recharge schema is named `recharge_fivetran`), add the following configuration to your root `dbt_project.yml` file:\n\n```yml\nvars:\n  recharge_database: your_destination_name\n  recharge_schema: your_schema_name \n```\n\n### Step 4: Enable/disable models and sources\nYour Recharge connection may not sync every table that this package expects. If you do not have the `CHECKOUT`, `ONE_TIME_PRODUCT` and/or `CHARGE_TAX_LINE` tables synced, add the corresponding variable(s) to your root `dbt_project.yml` file to disable these sources:\n\n```yml\nvars:\n  recharge__one_time_product_enabled: false # Disables if you do not have the ONE_TIME_PRODUCT table. Default is True.\n  recharge__charge_tax_line_enabled: false # Disables if you do not have the CHARGE_TAX_LINE table. Default is True.\n  recharge__checkout_enabled: true # Enables if you do have the CHECKOUT table. Default is False.\n```\n\n### (Optional) Step 5: Additional configurations\n\u003cdetails open\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExpand/collapse section.\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n#### Enabling Standardized Billing Model\nThis package contains the `recharge__line_item_enhanced` model which constructs a comprehensive, denormalized analytical table that enables reporting on key revenue, subscription, customer, and product metrics from your billing platform. It’s designed to align with the schema of the `*__line_item_enhanced` model found in Recurly, Recharge, Stripe, Shopify, and Zuora, offering standardized reporting across various billing platforms. To see the kinds of insights this model can generate, explore example visualizations in the [Fivetran Billing Model Streamlit App](https://fivetran-billing-model.streamlit.app/). For the time being, this model is disabled by default. If you would like to enable this model you will need to adjust the `recharge__standardized_billing_model_enabled` variable to be `true` within your `dbt_project.yml`:\n\n```yml\nvars:\n  recharge__standardized_billing_model_enabled: true # false by default.\n```\n\n#### Leveraging `orders` vs `order` source\nFor Fivetran Recharge connections created on or after June 18, 2024, the `ORDER` source table has been renamed to `ORDERS`. Refer to the [June 2024 connector release notes](https://fivetran.com/docs/connectors/applications/recharge/changelog#june2024) for more information.\n\nThe package will default to use the `ORDERS` table if it exists and then `ORDER` if not. If you have both versions but wish to use the `ORDER` table instead, you can set the variable `recharge__using_orders` to false in your `dbt_project.yml` file.\n```yml\nvars:\n  recharge__using_orders: false # default is true, which will use the `orders` version of the source.\n```\n\n#### Setting the date range\nBy default, the models `customer_daily_rollup` and `monthly_recurring_revenue` will aggregate data for the entire date range of your data set. However, you may limit this date range if desired by defining the following variables. You do not need to set both if you only want to limit one.\n```yml\nvars:\n    recharge_first_date: \"yyyy-mm-dd\"\n    recharge_last_date: \"yyyy-mm-dd\"\n```\n#### Passing Through Additional Columns\nThis package includes all source columns defined in the macros folder. If you would like to pass through additional columns to the staging models, add the following configurations to your `dbt_project.yml` file. These variables allow the pass-through fields to be aliased (`alias`) and casted (`transform_sql`) if desired, but not required. Datatype casting is configured via a SQL snippet within the `transform_sql` key. You may add the desired SQL while omitting the `as field_name` at the end and your custom pass-though fields will be casted accordingly. Use the below format for declaring the respective pass-through variables in your root `dbt_project.yml`.\n```yml\nvars:\n    recharge__address_passthrough_columns: \n      - name: \"new_custom_field\"\n        alias: \"custom_field_name\"\n        transform_sql:  \"cast(custom_field_name as int64)\"\n      - name: \"a_second_field\"\n        transform_sql:  \"cast(a_second_field as string)\"\n    # a similar pattern can be applied to the rest of the following variables.\n    recharge__charge_passthrough_columns:\n    recharge__charge_line_item_passthrough_columns:\n    recharge__checkout_passthrough_columns:\n    recharge__order_passthrough_columns:\n    recharge__order_line_passthrough_columns:\n    recharge__subscription_passthrough_columns:\n    recharge__subscription_history_passthrough_columns:\n```\n\n#### Changing the Build Schema\nBy default, this package builds the Recharge staging models within a schema titled (\u003ctarget_schema\u003e + `_recharge_source`) and the Recharge transformation models within a schema titled (\u003ctarget_schema\u003e + `_recharge`) in your destination. If this is not where you would like your Recharge data written, add the following configuration to your root `dbt_project.yml` file:\n\n```yml\nmodels:\n    recharge:\n      +schema: my_new_schema_name # leave blank for just the target_schema\n    recharge_source:\n      +schema: my_new_schema_name # leave blank for just the target_schema\n```\n\n#### Change the source table references\nIf an individual source table has a different name than the package expects, add the table name as it appears in your destination to the respective variable:\n\n\u003e IMPORTANT: See this project's [`dbt_project.yml`](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_recharge_source/blob/main/dbt_project.yml) variable declarations to see the expected names.\n\n```yml\nvars:\n    recharge_\u003cdefault_source_table_name\u003e_identifier: your_table_name \n```\n\n#### Snowflake Users\nYou may need to provide the case-sensitive spelling of your source tables that are also Snowflake reserved words.\n\nIn this package, this would apply to the `ORDER` source. If you are receiving errors for this source, include the following in your `dbt_project.yml` file. (**Note:** This should not be necessary for the `ORDERS` source table.)\n```yml\nvars:\n  recharge_order_identifier: '\"Order\"' # as an example, must include this quoting pattern and adjust for your exact casing\n```\n\n**Note:** if you have sources defined in your project's yml, the above will not work. Instead, you will need to add the following where your order table is defined in your yml:\n```yml\nsources:\n  tables:\n    - name: order \n      # Add the below\n      identifier: ORDER # Or what your order table is named, being mindful of casing\n      quoting:\n        identifier: true\n```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n### (Optional) Step 6: Orchestrate your models with Fivetran Transformations for dbt Core™\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExpand for more details\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nFivetran offers the ability for you to orchestrate your dbt project through [Fivetran Transformations for dbt Core™](https://fivetran.com/docs/transformations/dbt).
