Symptoms

In Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) version 12.0.0.6, the pin_cycle_fees utility performs two tasks:

• Use this utility to apply charges for cycle-forward fees that have reached the end of free billing periods. For example, if a customer signs up for one month of free service, the pin_cycle_fees utility finds when the free period is over, and applies the cycle-forward fee balance impact to the customer's account balance group.
• Use this utility to cancel charge offers that have an expired pending cancellation. For example, if a charge offer is set to cancel at a future date, the pin_cycle_fees utility cancels the charge offer.

The pin_cycle_fees tool is not splitting events for in case the previous charges are spread across multiple months,  this may cause issues during reporting.
