The following points describe the different methods that can be used to define the end date on an obligation's bill segments:
Bill Period Schedule. Obligations may have the end date of their bill segments defined on the user-maintained bill period calendar. This option is used when bill segments must fall on strict calendar boundaries (e.g., quarterly bills that end on the last day of the quarter).
Anniversary. In addition to the Bill Period Calendar method, obligations may have their bill segment end date based on the obligation start date. For example, if an obligation started on the 16 th of some month, the ongoing bill segments will start on roughly the 16 th of each month.
ASAP. For obligations that use neither the Bill Period Calendar nor Anniversary methods, the system assumes the end date of a bill segment is the current date.
Billable Charge. For non-metered obligations that exist to levy billable charges, the start AND end dates are defined on the billable charge information that is entered by a user or interfaced from an external system.
The topics in this section discuss each of the above methods.
