By calling an API
You can draft rate usage inputs in bulk by calling the draftPendingUsageInput API. This API supports processing 1000 usage inputs in the synchronous mode. The API gives no response about the result of processed or errored-out usage inputs. If the usage inputs are processed in batch mode, an email containing processed usage input information is sent to the user. If the usage inputs are processed synchronously then the user can verify the result by looking into individual usage input records.
There are four different flavors of this API.

The forecasted amount is rated and updated in the Rated Amount field. The corresponding billing schedule reflects the rated amount as the fee amount to be billed.
