Last updated on JANUARY 28, 2024

Symptoms

During testing you see one of the backdated scenarios is not working

The event charge period (i.e. earned_start_t and earned_end_t) does not align with account's  bill cycle period if the product is purchased backdated in a month other than Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct (i.e. backdated month  is not same as the month of billing DOM).


  Actually Results
 ==========
  The cycle forward event is charged for the period 01-Jun to  01-Aug 2016 (i.e. earned_start_t is 01-Jun, earned_end_t is 01-Aug) which is  incorrect.
 
 Expected Results
 ==================
 Two cycle fee event is expected.
 One for 1st June to 1st July 2016 for 1 month charge and one for 1st July to  1st Oct 2016.

Steps to Reproduce

================

 0. Set the  - fm_bill calc_cycle_from_cycle_start_t 0 in cm pin.conf and re-start the cm.
 1. Create a quarterly cycle forward product with prorate on both purchase and cancellation.
 2. PVT as 01-Jan 2015, create an account with quarterly billing cycle.
 3. Move PVT to 23-Aug and run the billing.
 4. Purchase the quarterly cycle forward product backdated to 01-Jun. (i.e the backdate month is not same as the month of Billing DOM ).
