 Header Billing Plans in Periodic Billing

In periodic billing, the following functions are carried out exclusively at item level:

  • Pricing

  • Determining status

  • Determining date-from and date-to

For this reason, no billing document value or status appear in the header billing plan.

Note Note

Changes to validity period

Start and end dates establish the billing validity period and can be determined automatically using a rule or entered manually. These dates are copied to the item billing plans. If you change the rule or the manual validity period at header level, the resulting dates will be copied to the item level.

To maintain different dates at item level, proceed as follows:

If you specify a validity period manually in the Date-from and Date-to fields in the item billing plan, the system deletes the rule and uses the manual dates from these two fields to determine the relevant billing dates. The dates which the system determines at item level remain valid even if you make changes to the header billing dates. If the manual dates from the Date-from and Date-to fields are deleted, the system will again use the rule in the billing header to determine billing dates.

End of the note.
