Protecting An Account's Bill Cycle
Over time, as a customer moves from premise to premise, their bill cycle is changed behind-the-scenes to be in sync with the latest service point's service cycle (as described in the previous section). If you do not want the system to change an account's bill cycle when a metered service agreement is activated, you need to turn on the account's protect bill cycle flag. You would do this if a customer liked to be billed at the start of the month regardless of when their meter was read.
When the last service agreement for an account is stopped, the protect bill cycle flag is reset. This is to ensure that if the customer returns to start new service again, the bill cycle can be set based on
