Start and End Times for Billing

As you know, there is logic in billing to determine the start date and end date for a bill segment. Refer to Ways to Control The End Date Of A Bill for more information. When billing for a customer with interval data, the system also needs to know the time.

The time used by billing, referred to as the cutoff time, is stored on the service agreement. There is also a control on the service agreement called Start Day Option that determines which day to use for the start time. Billing algorithms use the billing date, the cutoff time, and the start day option to determine the correct interval data to process.
