Application Setup
The Billing Settings page on the Advantage Platform is the central location for administrators to configure and manage all billing-related settings for their organization. These settings control how the system fetches pricing data, handles manual billing adjustments, applies currency rounding, and calculates prorations for subscription billing products. Changes made on this screen may affect the entire Billing application.
To access the Billing Settings page, log in to the Advantage Platform and select the App Settings from the left navigation panel. The App Settings page opens showing the Billing Settings module along with other modules. Click Configure inside the Billing Settings module to open the Billing Settings page.
This page is designed to provide a streamlined and intuitive user experience, allowing finance and billing admins to define how billing operations are executed across the platform.

Superseding the Schedules during Asset Management |
Select from the following options:
The default selection is Minimize. |
Indicates whether the billing engine should always supersede the billing schedules (and their schedule details) during the management of a sold product or service or minimize the superseding. Minimize: The engine limits the superseding by creating a schedule detail (BSD) with delta fee under the existing schedule record (BSR). Always Supersede: Opposite to Minimize. The engine will supersede the uninvoiced schedules (BSRs) of the impacted period and creates new BSRs (and BSDs) with the overall fee for that period. Note - for certain scenarios (e.g., changing the "Billing Frequency" of a sold product/service), the engine will supersede the uninvoiced schedules (BSRs & BSDs) and creates new BSRs (and BSDs) regardless of the setting value. | ||||||||||||||
