Documentation

Definition

If you set this indicator, the system executes billing in advance with every period billing run.
The advance period to be billed starts at the end of the periodic billing period and finishes at the next scheduled meter reading date.
In the billing schema, you can use the Control of Advance Billing indicator to control which steps are executed in the advance period.

Example: You can always calculate the clearing price for monthly billing one month in advance.
