Enable Bill Immediately

You can bill your subscriptions up-front using the Bill Immediately check box in the Billing section on the Edit Product page. The invoicing rule to enable up-front billing must be Advance.

When you enable this field, the interface date and invoice date of all bill lines are the same as the first bill line, for both the subscription product and covered levels.

For example, consider a 2-year subscription product with a $54,000 annual charge starting on July 1, 2021.

The billing configurations for this subscription are:

Product	Quantity	Start Date	End Date	Bill Frequency	Invoicing Rule	Billing Date
Product 1	1	01-Jul-21	30-Jun-23	Year	Advance	Period Start

The billing summary of this product line is:

Period	Charge	Sequence	Interface Date	Invoice Date	Bill-from Date	Bill-to Date	Amount
1	Annual Charge	1	01-Jul-21	01-Jul-21	01-Jul-21	30-Jun-22	$54,000
2	Annual Charge	2	01-Jul-21	01-Jul-21	01-Jul-22	30-Jun-23	$54,000

Things to Keep in Mind

Keep these points in mind:

• The application copies the Bill Immediately selection when you duplicate, renew, suspend/resume, or amend a subscription product.

• Bill Immediately isn't supported for evergreen subscriptions or subscriptions with pricing terms.
