The process allows you to calculate rates that will be applied on billing a subscription, while creating a new subscription or modifying an existing one, before submitting the actual request. You can use the process for both Normal and Prepaid Subscriptions. The calculation can be used while performing any of the following subscription actions:

  • Become Subscriber
  • Activate Subscription
  • Submit Buy in Advance Request
  • Add Draft Services or Add Effective Services
  • Swap Services
  • Remove Services - Regret or Remove Services - Cancel 
  • Start Services
  • Stop Services

Access any of the Subscription Actions that support the process. Once you select the changes you want to make and before submitting the action, click on the Preview Rates link available at the bottom right of the Subscription Action modal

The Calculate Subscription Rates Modal will open and there are 2 sections:
 

UPCOMING RATES

Upcoming Rates provide the rates of all the existing, newly added or swapped services and expenses that will be included in the next bill (for normal Subscriptions) or to be billed when the next Prepaid Billing Run is executed (Prepaid Subscriptions). Total Amount, Total Discount Amount and the Amount to be Paid are also available

ADDITIONAL BILLING PERIODS RATES

Additional Billing Periods Rates provide the upcoming period rates which are separated per Billing Period. The Billing Period is calculated as follows:

  • For normal subscriptions
    • The upcoming period is calculated based on the prorating logic, i.e. based on the billing frequency of the subscription
  • For prepaid subscriptions
    • For post-rated services the upcoming period is 1 day
    • For pre-rated services the upcoming period is 1 period to bill in advanced, as defined in the billing term scheme.
      Note: If the subscription has multiple pre-rated services with different periods then the period is defined by the minimum "period to bill in advance" 

Total Amount, Total Discount Amount and the Amount to be Paid are also available in every billing period.
