Documentation
Definition
Date determination using the factory calendar
Generation periods are determined by defining dates as weekdays on which generation periods are to end using a special factory calendar. This is similar to the procedure for determining planned billing dates.
When generating billing datasets, the system determines the next weekday in the calendar starting from the earliest planned publication date.
- If the weekday is earlier than the latest planned publication date, the system generates a billing dataset with a service start date that corresponds to the earliest planned publication date and a service end date that corresponds to the weekday from the calendar. The next billing dataset is created similarly but starts a day after the service end date for the previous billing dataset.
- If the latest planned publication date is earlier than the next weekday from the calendar, the last billing dataset ends with the latest planned publication date.
If you have defined a date determination rule using the factory calendar, the system ignores any rule for a number of days specified.
Example
You create a calendar in which the last day of the month is always defined as a weekday because posting periods are always to correspond to months. A customer places a banner between November 10th and December 8th. The system generates one billing dataset for the period between November 10th and November 30th and one billing dataset for the period between December 1st and December 8th.
