SBS ARCB Billing Schedule Change Item

Use this page to change the item for the selected billing schedule line. When a line item is changed, the current line item is terminated from the billing schedule, and then a different item is added to the line to replace the previous item.

This feature is useful in the following situation. Customer A has a 5-year billing schedule contract with Cable Company. As part of that contract, an Internet modem is provided as part of the service. During year 3, the modem is replaced by a different modem. To replace the old modem with the newer mode, this change item feature is used.

Review the following example for changing an item. Contract 1 has the following billing details for a schedule line item Item 1:

Start date: January 15, 2020
Frequency: Annually
Number of periods: 5
Amount: 100.00
End date: January 14, 2025

The following table shows the billing detail for the schedule line in Contract 1:

Start Date	End Date	Amount	Invoiced
January 15, 2020	January 14, 2021	100.00	Yes
January 15, 2021	January 14, 2022	100.00	Yes
January 15, 2022	January 14, 2023	100.00
January 15, 2023	January 14, 2024	100.00
January 15, 2024	January 14, 2025	100.00

When the item number is changed from Item 1 to Item 2, the following occurs:

The item is terminated from Contract 1 on January 14, 2022.
A new billing schedule line in the same contract is created, with the following settings:
- Start date: January 15, 2022
- Frequency: Annually
- Number of periods: 3
- Amount: 100.00
- End date: January 14, 2025

The following table shows the billing detail for the schedule line item Item 2:

January 15, 2022	January 14, 2023	100.00
