Advance Billing for Renewals

Use

As of Release 4.62, you can perform advance billing for renewal subscription if a customer that is a company is only able to make payment of the amount due for a renewal subscription on the basis of an invoice. To do this, you select the Advance billing indicator on the Billing tab page (item data screen).
At the same time as the renewal offer is created, the monitoring control functions create an advance billing document for the expected payment amount. This creates a claim towards the customer which can be subject to urging in Financial Accounting. Monitoring of incoming payments continues in parallel in IS-M/SD. If no incoming payment is received, the further steps in the monitoring procedure are processed and the subscription terminated if necessary. If the payment is not made, the closing step cancels the billing document created in advance and uses it to clear the customer account.

Effects on Data Transfer

The Advance billing indicator has been added to the item data interface.
