Billing for Usage

If the Billing Type of a contract line item is Recurring Variable, you can create billing documents based on customer usage records associated with that contract line item. The contract line item should be set to bill in arrears, so that you can bill the customer accurately using their actual usage figures.

To create usage records and associate them with contract line items, do one of the following:

Click New Usage in the Usage related list of the contract line item to which you want to associate the usage information.
Create usage information manually using the Usage tab. See Creating Customer Usage Records.
Upload usage records using Salesforce upload tools. For information about the ways in which you can upload records, see the Salesforce Help.

Notes: Notes Notepad

You can only view the Usage related list on a contract line item on the Salesforce Contracts Detail page. See Switching between Enhanced and Salesforce Detail Pages and Setting up Default Detail Pages.

When a billing job runs it automatically picks up usage information associated with contract line items if the billing type is Recurring Variable and the usage date is within the dates of the billing schedule being billed. See Creating Billing Jobs.
