Use Case: Switching in Mid-Term

When the regular billing is switched to custom billing during mid of the contract term, the system analyses if the change is initiated from start or mid of the period.

For changes initiated in mid term but at start of the period, the impacted schedules:
  • If Invoiced, are retained as is and are refunded by creating new schedule records.
  • If Pending Billing, are superseded.
For changes initiated in mid term and in middle of the period, the schedules spanning across the amendment date:
  • If invoiced, the system, retain them as is and refund is given for the period from the amend start till end date of the schedule i.e, period falling within the amendment.
  • For Pending Billing, if the supersede setting is Always Supersede, system creates a partial BSR from the period's start date to the day before the amendment as per that term. If the supersede setting is Minimize, then the system creates a counter BSD for the period not used and update the Period End Date of the BSR as Amendment Start Date - 1.
  • The system supersedes the remaining schedule records.

Note: For Bill the delta, the existing schedule records remain unchanged and only the delta amount is billed as per the custom plan.

There is a new sale of a recurring product for one year contract starting from 01 May 2025 with TCV (Sales) of USD 1,000.00. The billing frequency is half-yearly.

The Billing Preference has the following settings:

Amendment

There are multiple requests from the customer:
  • Switch to custom billing with 3 installments. The desired computation method is Custom and Billing Amount Criterion is Bill only the Delta.
  • Postpone (delay) the start date to 15 May 2025.
  • Shorten the end date to 16 Feb 2026.

Due to early closure of the contract, a markup of 80% is applied to it. You created a term based custom plan with 3 installments and set the Billing Amount Criterion to Bill only the Delta. See Parameters for Plan Header for more. The custom plan lines are as follows:
