Example
Let us understand it with examples.
Step 1: Billing the legacy assets
Suppose you are a billing administrator of a company selling computer hardware with a TCV of $1000 for 10 billing terms. You have already invoiced the customer for $200 over a billing period of 2-months billing term and the remaining billable amount is $800, to be billed over 8 months. The legacy contract was started in 2018 but the last known major price or config happened on 7/20/21. So the asset's start date is 7/20/21. The first Billing Date is 11/20/0222.
Conga Billing creates nine billing schedules, BS-001 for the already billed amount in the legacy system with the Type field set to Informational and subsequent normal billing schedules for 8 months.
