Create single-year invoice schedules for charges with different start dates and end dates within one term
Create single-year invoice schedules for subscriptions with varying start and end dates, generating invoices on custom dates within the first year.
The Billing Schedule feature is generally available. You can enable this feature in Sandbox and Production environments with the self-serve interface. For more information, see Enable billing features by yourself.
With the Billing Schedule feature, you can create invoice schedules with one single year on new subscriptions with different start dates and end dates, and how invoices are generated for the subscriptions.
In this use case, four subscriptions are created with different terms, and a single-year invoice schedule is created on this subscription. Invoices are generated on self-defined dates through the processing of three invoice schedule items contained in the invoice schedule.
As shown in the following table, four subscriptions are created by creating an order , with the total amount of $69,150.00 and different terms. You expect to create a custom invoice schedule to generate three invoices on different dates in the first year for the four subscriptions. The first invoice is expected to be generated on 4 February 2021 with the amount of $50,000.00, the second invoice on 1 May 2021 with the amount of $10,000.00, and the third invoice on 16 September 2021 with the amount of $9,150.00.
