Case 3: Create subscriptions without payment term and bill-to contact

Describes the process of creating subscriptions without specifying a bill-to contact and payment term, and how default values are applied during invoice generation.

In this use case, a subscription is created without the bill-to contact and payment term being specified. When a bill run is created, the invoice for this subscription will be generated for the default bill-to contact and payment term.

As listed in the following table, two subscriptions are created. Subscription S001 is created without the bill-to contact and payment term being specified. A bill run is created with the targetDate field as 2022-01-01 and the autoPost field as true. As a result, invoice INV001 is generated for subscription S001. Because this subscription does not have the bill-to contact and payment term specified, the default bill-to contact Ray Lockman and payment term Net 30 are used for invoice INV001. Invoice INV002 is generated for subscription S002 with the bill-to contact as Steve America and payment term as Net 45.
