Use case 2.1: Start dates of charge and discount are aligned, fixed amount discount
The start dates of a charge and discount are aligned, and the impact of the ApplyToBillingPeriodPartially checkbox on the discount is analyzed in this use case.
The diagram below shows that the start dates of a charge and discount are aligned on 06/01/2023.
The table below shows the differences when the ApplyToBillingPeriodPartially checkbox is checked or not.
Number | Discount Rate | ApplyToBillingPeriodPartially | Fixed Amount Discount Billing Period | Total Discount Amount | June | July | Aug. | Sep. | Oct. | Nov. | Dec. | Jan. | Feb. | Mar. | Apr. | May |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2.1.a | $15 | Unchecked | Quarter | -15 | -15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
2.1.b | $15 | Checked | Quarter | -60 | -15 | 0 | 0 | -15 | 0 | 0 | -15 | 0 | 0 | -15 | 0 | 0 |
For the 2.1.b fixed amount discount, the total discount - $60 = - $15/quarter (Fixed Amount Discount Billing Period) * 4 quarters. The charge price of the first month in each quarter completely offsets the discount in that quarter.
