Validity period enhancements

Enhanced Unit-Based Prepaid with Drawdown lets you configure validity periods independently of billing cycles.

Validity period length

Use the existing Validity Period field and, where applicable, the specific validity period length fields to define the duration of the fund.

For example, you can configure a monthly, quarterly, annual, subscription-term, or custom-length validity period.

Validity period alignment

Use Validity Period Alignment to control where the fund starts.

In the product catalog, you can align the fund to:

  • Charge Start
  • Term Start
  • Term End

At ordering time, you can also choose Specific Date and provide an explicit anchor date.

Validity period proration

If a unit-based prepayment charge is added in the middle of a validity period and does not align exactly with the validity period boundaries, use Validity Period Proration to determine how Zuora grants prepaid units:

  • Prorate Units scales the funded units based on the overlap ratio.
  • No Prorate grants the full units even when the fund is partial.
