Agreement Fees are the sources of revenue contained within a Revenue Agreement. Agreement Fees track the amount of revenue that will be recognized for each item and the period for which the revenue will be recognized. The method by which the revenue is recognized is determined by this object as well. 

Agreement Fees have the fee details, effectivity period, start date, applicable products, applicable prepays, and applicable trueups.
