• The “charge” in this article refers to a regular charge except for delivery pricing, prepayment and drawdown, and discount charges.

• The results below are based on the following billing rules values. If you set the billing rules to other values, your results will differ slightly.

  • When prorating a month, assume 30 days in a month or use actual days : Use actual number of days

  • When prorating periods greater than a month, prorate by month first, or by day : Prorate by day

• No matter whether the Enhanced Discount feature is enabled or not, during a period that has already been billed, if the charge is not changed, discount changes during the billed period, such as creating, updating, or removing the discount charge, will not be processed by the rating engine in the next invoice.
