Use this page to create, delete, or edit billing schedules. You can also review a list of all billing schedules.

When you select to view a billing schedule, a separate page showing the details of the billing schedule.

When you create a billing schedule, the default values for the billing schedule are determined by the billing group associated with the billing schedule. Also, other default values are set up on the Advanced Recurring Contract Billing Parameters page. You can change any of the default values as needed.

The top of the page allows you to apply a filter value so that you can see only the records that match the filter you enter.

Tip: When you select a billing schedule to view, the page opens in view mode and all options are read-only. Select Edit to make changes to the record.

Automatic Renewal

When Auto Renew is set to Yes and specify the Lines to add per renewal, the billing schedule will automatically renew after invoices have been created for all detail lines.

For example, a billing schedule has the following settings:

Auto Renew is set to Yes
Lines to add per renewal is set to 6
Frequency is Monthly

After an invoice for the last detail line has been created, the billing schedule is automatically renewed with six more lines, one line for each month.

Revenue Split

When you add an item that is a part of a revenue split, keep the following information in mind:

The Parent amount cannot be deferred.
The start date, end date, quantity, unit, site, and warehouse values for child items are based on the parent item.
You cannot change these values for the child items. Any changes must be made for the parent item.
The Pricing method is Flat and cannot be changed.
Child items can be added or removed.
Parent and child items must use the same item group.
Child items can have one of the following:
- Same Billing frequency and Billing intervals as the parent item.
- The Billing frequency set to One-time, which automatically sets the Billing intervals to 1.
For parent or child items that have a One-time billing frequency, after the invoice for the item, the status of the line remains Active.
- If the billing schedule is terminated before the start date of the line item, a refund in the full amount of the item is given.
- If the billing schedule is terminated after the end date of the line item, no refund is given.
The sum of the net amount of the child items is equal to the Parent amount.
When the allocation method is Zero amounts, both the sum of the child items and the Parent amount are zero (0).
Note: When the allocation method is Zero parent amount, the sum of the child items (non-zero) is not equal to the parent amount, which is zero (0). This allocation method is used for internal purposes, so that employees can see the child items, but the customer can only see the parent item.
If the MEA type for the sales order is single, the corresponding MERA transaction line is created when the parent and child lines are added.
When the allocation method for a revenue split is Equal amounts and the Parent amount is changed, the amounts for all child lines are recalculated.
For a revenue split that has the Allocation method set to Variable amount:
- The net amount of the parent item appears in the Parent amount column.
  This value can be edited. However, the unit price, net amount, and discount cannot be edited and show a zero (0) amount.
- The unit price for child items shows a zero (0) value.
  You can edit the unit price or net amount. When you edit one value, the other value is automatically updated.
For a revenue split that has the Allocation method set to Percentage:
- The net amount of the parent item appears in the Parent amount column.
  This value can be edited. However, the unit price, net amount, and discount cannot be edited and show a zero (0) amount.
- The net amount for child items is calculated as follows: Percentage * Parent amount.
For a revenue split that has the Allocation method set to Equal amount:
- The net amount of the parent item appears in the Parent amount column.
  This value can be edited. However, the unit price, net amount, and discount cannot be edited and show a zero (0) amount.
- The net amount of the child items is calculated by dividing the Parent amount equally among all child items.
- When child items are removed or added, the net amount and unit prices are recalculated so that all child lines have equal amounts.
- If the Parent amount cannot be divided perfectly equal, the net amount and unit price of the last child item may be slighter more or less than the other child items.
For a revenue split that has the Allocation method set to Zero amount:
- The unit price, net amount, and discount can be edited.
  The Parent amount cannot be edited and show a zero (0) amount.
- The quantity, unit, site, and warehouse values for child items are based on the parent item. You cannot change these values for the child items. Any changes must be made for the parent item.
- The unit price and net price for the child items cannot be edited and show a zero (0) amount.
For a revenue split that has the Allocation method set to Zero parent amount:
- For the parent item, the unit price, parent amount, and net amount are zero (0).
- In a billing schedule, the child lines appear as if they had been manually added and all values are updated based on the selected billing schedule group. These values can be edited.
  Also for child items, you can access the escalation and discount and advanced pricing options and also edit certain billing detail fields (quantity entered, unit price, discount, and net amount).
- In a sales order, the child lines have a discount and discount percentage of zero (0).
- The billing frequency for the parent and the child items can be changed, and each line can have a different frequency. However, the parent item is automatically updated to use the shortest frequency from its child lines. For example, for a revenue split has two child items that use the billing frequencies Monthly and Annually. The billing frequency of the parent item is updated to Monthly.

Revenue splitting can be automatically applied to items that are added or imported based on the Automatically create revenue split setting on the Multiple Element Revenue Allocation Parameters page for Multiple Element Revenue Allocation.

Note icon. Note: Auto renewal is not allowed for revenue split items.

Unbilled Revenue: Change in Quantity or Price

If after the unbilled revenue journal entry has been created, you need to change the quantity or unit price of an item, the unbilled revenue journal entry is reversed and it is recalculated with the new amount based on a recalculation date. For a deferral item, the recalculated date is also used for the deferral schedule.

When changing the quantity or unit price for a billing schedule line, the extended amount is updated and the following occurs:

For a line, you change the Quantity or Unit price.
When you are asked to confirm the action, select Yes.
A dialog appears, where you specify the Recalculation date, specify a Comment and select OK.
During processing, the original unbilled revenue journal entry is reversed, and a new unbilled revenue journal entry with the new amount is created.

Note icon. Note: The updated unit price or quantity is applied only to periods that have not yet been billed.

For items that use revenue splitting, all items that belong to the same MEA number are adjusted in the same way. The original unbilled revenue journal entry is reversed, and a new unbilled revenue journal entry with the new amount is created.

For the deferral schedule, only the periods after the recalculation date are adjusted.
You can review the audit trail on the Unbilled Revenue Journal Entry Audit page, Line details, Renewals tab.

View example.

A contract is set up as follows:

1-year contract with a total amount 1,200.00
Start date = January 1
Billing frequency = Monthly
Amount = 1,200.00

Invoices have been processed up until May. Also, the deferral schedule is recognized up until May. The unit price is updated, and the total extended amount is increased to 1,400.00. Changes are applied only to the periods that have not yet been invoiced. Review the following process.

Reverse the original journal entry, using the adjustment date as the transaction date:

Revenue OR Deferred Revenue		1200.00
	Unbilled Revenue		1200.00

Recreate the journal entry with new amounts, using the adjustment date as the transaction date:

Unbilled Revenue		1400.00
	Revenue OR Deferred Revenue		1400.00

The recalculation date is June 01. With the deferral schedule, the processing is as follows:

The deferral schedule is recognized until May: 1200.00 - 500.00 = 700.00. The price increase is 200.00. As a result, 900.00 is allocation to the remaining periods (June - December) for the deferral schedule.

Deferral start date	Deferral end date	Amount	Recognized
January 01	January 31	100.00
February 01	February 28	100.00
March 01	March 31	100.00
April 01	April 30	100.00
May 01	May 31	100.00
June 01	June 30	128.57
July 01	July 31	128.57
August 01	August 31	128.57
September 01	September 30	128.57
October 01	October 31	128.57

Button	Description
Renewals tab
Select an action to perform:
Unbilled revenue journal entry audit	Opens the Unbilled Revenue Journal Entry Audit, where you view all changes for items that use the unbilled revenue feature.
Add renewal term	Opens a dialog where you can add a renewal term for the item. The start date of the new renewal term is the next date after the end date of the previous term, and it cannot be changed. You can change the renewal end date, the deferral start and end dates, the item quantity, and unit price. The dialog also includes the Calculate unit price button.
Modify renewal term	Opens a dialog where you can modify a renewal term. For the initial term, you can change the deferral start and end dates prior to creating the initial journal entry. For subsequent terms, the start date cannot be changed and is the next date after the end of the previous term. If a renewal term exists after the term you are modifying, the dates of the term cannot be changed. In this case, you can change only the quantity and unit price for the renewal item. For example, three terms exist. The first term cannot be changed because it has already started. For the second term, only the quantity and unit price can be changed. For the third term, all values can be changed, except the start date. View image. Additionally, the Schedule from template option allows you to create a deferral schedule based on the template for the unbilled revenue item. When this option is Yes, select the deferral Template and change the deferral start and end dates as needed. Subsequent renewal terms use the same deferral template, which can be changed.
