What are Billing Term Job Definitions?

Billing Term Job Definitions

?

A Billing Term represents the agreement between a customer and the company, and defines the rules and conditions that should be applied during billing of the billing. All billing terms, regardless of their related Billing Schemes, will use billing term definitions in order Job.

These business rules will be used in order to validate several processes that will be applied to either the billing term or its related billable entities. For example you can define rules where you will not allow to Regret after a number of days, or define cancellation penalties based on a particular service and remaining binding period. According to the Billing Term definition, each Billing term in inheriting from, the respective rules will be applied.

Billing Term Definition Rules include validations and restrictions that will be used across billing terms, regardless of their schemes.

For each rule, one or more exceptions can be specified and for each rule it is allowed to define for which billing term schemes these rules must be applied. If no billing term schemes are defined, then this means that the rule is applied to all billable entities.
