The Billing/Prorate Day of Month is the day of month to which all
automated monthly billing is anchored. It is also the day of month to which monthly billings
are prorated if the day of a Package or Service Next Bill Date is not
considered equal to the Billing/Prorate Day of Month.
The default for a new Account is derived from the
Billing Day of Month/Prorate
Day specified on the Account Profile. The default will be one of the
following:
- The day of month the Account is created in BillMax.
- The day set on the Account Profile.
If the Account Profile setting for
Billing Day of Month/Prorate Day is
Day of Account Creation, the
Billing/Prorate Day of
Month will be changed automatically by BillMax when the first Package or Service
for the Account is Opened. This avoids unnecessary prorating when the first Package or Service
is Opened on a date after Account creation.
CAUTION:
Changing
Billing/Prorate Day of Month for an Account after billing for
Packages and Services has commenced may cause prorating the next billing cycle.
The date that monthly billing actually occurs is derived from the Billing/Prorate
Day of Month and the Bill Timing settings on the Account
Profile.
