Enhancement Request on Generation of Bills With Flexible Bill Cycle, Amount & Date (Doc ID 2947978.1)

Last updated on MAY 11, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management - Version 12.0.0.3.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

The requirement is to generate invoices based on the user defined variable i.e. billing period, variable amount, and variable percentage during invoice generation in RUN TIME for the charges applied beforehand as per bill profile cycle, product purchases and services subscribed.

Two scenarios to be considered:

Scenario 1:
Account is on monthly cycle with BDOM set to 1 and bill is not generated for last six months.  The requirement is to generate bills for the first 2 months with variable bill amount and not as per the charges accumulated for the billing cycles.

Scenario 2:
Account is on monthly cycle with BDOM set to 1 and bill is not generated for last six months.  The expectation is to generate bills with variable cycle length i.e. Generate bill for first 45/35/20 days (User defined billing cycle length). Similarly, user can also decide the billing amount in terms of percentage.

Example for variable amount, and variable percentage during invoice generation in RUN TIME for the charges applied beforehand as per bill profile cycle, product purchases and services subscribed:

Say, the accumulated charges for a billing cycle is 1000 USD  (From 1st Jan 2023 to 1st Feb 2023).

The requirement is to generate bill before the billing cycle end date i.e. 1st Feb 2023 with variable amount 800 USD (Out of 1000 USD accumulated charges) and in addition to that, customer can also decide the bill amount in terms of percentage i.e. 50% of accumulated 1000 USD and generate the bill before the end date.

Cycle: 1st Jan to 1st Feb 2023
Accumulated charges: 1000 USD
Variable bill amount: 800 USD
Variable bill amount percentage : 50% of 1000 USD i.e. 500 USD
