Part 1 - Example
This example demonstrates how to create a subscription order with a monthly billing period, using a Per Unit Pricing model, and the resulting order metrics generated by Zuora.
On 1/1/2018 you use a Create Subscription order action to subscribe a customer to 10 units of your product for 1 year, with a monthly billing period. The product uses the Per Unit Pricing charge model with a list price of $8.00 per unit. When you subscribe the customer to the product, you reduce the list price to $5.00. This means that you expect to post an invoice for $50.00 ( = 10 × $5.00) each month.
Zuora then creates the following order metrics:

1/1/2018 |
12/31/2018 |

Value of Order Quantity × list price (5.00) |
|
Order Tcb |
1/1/2018 |
12/31/2018 |
600.00 |
Jan-Dec: 12 months × Value of Order Mrr |
|
Order Tcv |
1/1/2018 |
12/31/2018 |
600.00 |
Jan-Dec: 12 months × Value of Order Mrr |
|
Order Elp |
1/1/2018 |
12/31/2018 |
960.00 |
Jan-Dec: 12 months × Value of Order Quantity × original list price (8.00) |
This example assumes that the customer's bill cycle day is set to the 1st of the month.
On 4/1/2018, you use an Update Product order action to increase the quantity to 13. Zuora then creates the following order metrics:
