Definition

Depending on whether billing is to be carried out in advance or in arrears, this is either the start or end date of the settlement period for a specific billing plan date.

Use

This date is used in periodic billing when time-dependent prices are defined.

Example

Billing plan for a rental contract for a piece of machinery

Billing is to be carried out in advance on the first of the month for the entire month. The following price condition has been defined for the contract:

Scale Quantity Price

As of 1 month Rent for machinery per month 1000 USD

As of 12 months Rent for machinery per month 1100 USD

The following billing values are determined on the basis of the settlement period and the price condition.

Settlement period

Settl.from date Settl.to date Billing date Billing value

06/01/95 06/30/95 06/01/95 1000

07/01/95 07/31/95 07/01/95 1000

08/01/95 08/31/95 08/01/95 1000

06/01/96 06/30/96 06/01/96 1100

Note

In the example, the settlement-to date is the end of settlement period date because billing is to be performed in advance, that is, the indicator 'In advance' is set in the billing plan. If billing is to be performed in arrears, that is, the indicator 'In advance' is not set, the settlement-to date is the start of settlement period date.

Definition

Depending on whether billing is to be carried out in advance or retrospectively, this is either the start date or the end date for the settlement period of a date in the billing plan.

Use

This date is used if time-dependent prices are defined.

Example

Billing plan for a rental contract for a device.

The billing plan is to be created every month in advance at the start of each month. The following pricing condition is defined for the contract:

Scales Quantity Price

From 1 month Rent for 1 device per month 1000 USD

From 12 months Rent for 1 device per month 1100 USD

The following billing values are determined on the basis of the settlement period and the pricing condition:

Settlement period

Settlement date from Settelement date to Billing date Billing value

06.01.95 06.30.95 06.01.95 1000

07.01.95 07.31.95 07.01.95 1000

08.01.95 08.31.95 08.01.95 1000

06.01.96 06.30.96 06.01.95 1100

Because billing is to be carried out in advance, the 'settlement date from' is proposed as the billing date.

Note

In the example, the 'settlement date to' is the end date of the settlement period, because billing in advance is to be carred out (i.e. the 'In advance' indicator is set in the billing plan). If retrospective billing is to be carried out (i.e. the indicator is not set), then the 'settlement date to' is the start date of the settlement period.

Definition

Depending on whether invoicing is carried out in advance or retrospectively, this is either the start date or the end date for the settlement period of a date in the invoicing plan.

Use

This date is used if time-dependent prices are defined.

Example

Invoicing plan for a rental contract for a device.

The invoicing plan is to be created every month in advance at the start of each month. The following pricing condition applies:

Scales Quantity Price

From 1 month Rent for 1 device per month 1000 USD

From 12 months Rent for 1 device per month 980 USD

The following billing values are determined on the basis of the settlement period and the pricing condition:

Settlement period

Settlement date from Settelement date to Invoice date Invoice value

06.01.95 06.30.95 06.01.95 1000

07.01.95 07.31.95 07.01.95 1000

08.01.95 08.31.95 08.01.95 1000

06.01.96 06.30.96 06.01.95 980

Because invoicing is to be carried out in advance, the 'settlement date from' is proposed as the billing date.

Note

In the example, the 'settlement date to' is the end date of the settlement period, because invoicing is to be carried out in advance (i.e. the 'In advance' indicator is set in the invoicing plan). If the invoice is to be created retrospectively (i.e. the indicator is not set), then the 'settlement date to' is the start date of the settlement period.
