New Proration Method to Bill the Round-Offs
Billing supports a new method to bill the round-offs. The current and new behaviors are discussed as follows:
The current behavior of Billing is to round off the balances to the last billing schedule. Billing implements a logic where it defers the rounding-off of the balances arising from proration, odd selling terms, partial periods, or amendments in the middle of the period to the last billing schedule.
In its new behavior, Billing rounds off the balances arising from proration, odd selling terms, partial periods, or amendments in the middle of the period to the first billing schedule. You can define and understand the “first billing schedule” in a varied ways depending on the following scenarios:
|
Scenario |
First billing schedule |
|---|---|
|
New sale |
The very first billing schedule |
|
Amendment |
The very first billing schedule from when the amendment comes into effect |
|
Renewal |
The very first billing schedule from when the renewal comes into effect |
|
Termination |
The very first billing schedule from when the termination period starts |
You must enable the managed package field setting Bill Prorated Balance In First Schedule for the new behavior to work. The process is given below.
