After you cancel the subscription, you see that status of Usage Schedules change.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
US1 | 1/1/2015 | 1/31/2015 | Pending Billing | BS1 | 30 | |
US2 | 2/1/2015 | 2/28/2015 | Invoiced | BS2 | 26 | Yes |

US4 | 4/1/2015 | 4/30/2015 | Cancelled | BS4 | 24 |
In the second example, because you cancelled the subscription mid-cycle, the Billing Schedule for February is invoiced and is augmented with two new Billing Schedules.
- BS1 is a credit for the amount that was invoiced.
- BS2 is for the partial period that was not cancelled and is used to charge for the portion of the invoiced amount was billed. It reflects the aggregate amount of the rated Usage Inputs that have a date greater than or equal to 2/1 and less than or equal 2/21.
- US1 is for the partial period that was not cancelled and is used to record (audit) that portion of the quantity amount was billed. It reflects the aggregate quantity of the rated Usage Inputs that have a date greater than or equal to 2/1 and less than or equal 2/21.
- BS3 is for the partial period that was cancelled and the amount the Account will not be charged for. It reflects the aggregate amount of the rated Usage Inputs that have a date greater than or equal to 2/22 and less than or equal 2/28.
- US2 is also for the partial period that has been cancelled. It reflects the aggregate quantity of the rated Usage Inputs that have a date greater than or equal to 2/22 and less than or equal 2/28.
Because the entire period for March is already invoiced it augments a single Billing Schedule that is used to generate an Invoice Line Item that then reflects the credit for the invoiced amount was cancelled. The Billing Schedules for April and March are unbilled their status is changed to Cancelled.
