Amending the Billing Frequency

A subscription with a quarterly billing frequency is sold for three years with a TCV (Sales) of USD 13,200.00. The contract start date is 01 January 2025, and the end date is 30 September 2027. The quantity is two, and the quarterly net unit price is USD 1,200.00.

The Billing is initiated to create a billing header and 11 billing schedule records (BSRs).

The asset is amended to change the frequency, discussed as follows:
  • Billing frequency is changed to higher value. This is discussed in use case 1.

  • Billing frequency is changed to lower value. This is opposite of the previous one and is not elaborated in this document.

  • Billing frequency is changed mid-term. This is discussed in use case 2.

Use Case 1: Billing Frequency is Changed to a Higher Value

The subscription is amended to change the billing frequency to a higher value. The start date is advanced by three months and the end date is postponed by the same period. The new start and end dates are 01-October-2024 and 31-December-2027. The billing frequency is changed from Quarterly to Yearly.

The Billing header after the amendment is as follows:

Superseding the Schedules during Asset Management is set to Minimize. Since the billing frequency is changed, new BSRs are created driven by the new billing frequency and the existing BSRs are superseded:

When the setting Superseding the Schedules during Asset Management is set to Always Supersede, all the existing BSRs are superseded and new BSRs are created. This scenario is easy to understand and is not depicted here.

Use Case 2: Billing Frequency is Changed Mid-term

The subscription undergoes amendments where the quantity is increased to three, a discount of 5% is offered on the net unit price, and the billing frequency is changed from Quarterly to One-time. The start and end dates are 01-January-2025 and 30-September-2027.

Following settings are enabled at the Billing Settings and Preference level:

  • Superseding the Schedules during Asset Management is set to Minimize.

  • Proration Computation Method is set to Calendar Days of First Month.

  • Billing Day of Month is set to 15.

The Billing header after the amendment is as follows:

BH IDCurrent OLIParent OLIBilling FrequencyBilling Start DateBilling End DateTCV (Sales)Net Unit PriceQuantityBillable Amount for Current OLITotal Invoiced AmountPending Invoice AmountStatus
BH-1OLI-5OLI-1Yearly01-January-202530-September-2027USD 18,810.00USD 2,280.003USD 5,610.00USD 0.00USD 18,810.00Active

Although the billing frequency is set to One-time, two new BSRs are created due to the enablement of the settings Proration Computation Method and Billing Day of Month:
