Definition

In conjunction with the billing in advance indicator in the rate category, control of advance billing defines which schema steps are billed in advance.

If the bill in advance indicator in the rate category is set, control of advance billing has the following effects:

  • Control of advance billing = ' ': The schema step is performed only in the period for periodic billing
  • Control of advance billing = '1': The schema step is performed only in the period for advance billing
  • Control of advance billing = '2': The schema step is performed in the period for periodic billing and advance billing

If the bill in advance indicator in the rate category is not set, billing in advance is not performed. The control of advance billing has the following effects:

  • Control of advance billing = ' ': The schema step is performed only in the period for periodic billing
  • Control of advance billing = '1': The schema step is not performed
  • Control of advance billing = '2': The schema step is performed only in the period for periodic billing

Restrictions:

  • Billing in advance is not permitted together with period-end billing and backbilling. You may only use the blank value for control of advance billing for schema steps in the period-end billing rate and for schema steps that are backbilled.
  • In IF-variants, all the schema steps in the IF-ENDIF clause must have the same value for control of advance billing
  • Any schema steps with deletion operands must have the same value for control of advance billing as the step with the corresponding deletion variant
