Best practices
If you have enabled the Credit for Prorated Discounts (Fixed-amount Discount Charge Only) billing rule, the best practices to use discount charges are as follows:
- One fixed-amount discount charge only applies to one regular charge instead of multiple regular charges.
- The discount charge and the applied-to regular charge have the same bill cycle day, and the bill cycle day never changes.
- The discount charge has the same activation or cancelation date as the applied-to regular charge.
