Billing One-Time Products

For one-time order line items, the API creates a single billing schedule record regardless of the term of the order line item.

To know how Billing works on the Conga Platform, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with its architecture mentioned in Understanding the Billing Architecture on Conga Platform.

Prerequisites

• An order line item is created for a one-time product.

• The order line item is active.

  

  If the OLI is active, the API will execute the logic, otherwise throws an error.

When you call the Initiate Billing API for a one-time order line item with OrderLineItemIds and ReadyForBillingDate as the payload, it starts processing the OLI. It creates one billing header, one billing schedule record, and one billing schedule detail. The billing schedule record is created with "Pending Billing" status and displays the following information:

• Bill To
• Period Start Date
• Period End Date
• Actual Fee Amount
• Ready for Invoice Date

This API is capable of handling several order line items and hence can process several line items in bulk.
