Billing schedules are generated from the contract start date up to today plus the number of months specified in the Billing Schedule Number of Months field in the
FinancialForce Billing Central Settings custom setting.
See Billing Schedule Number of Months.
If a background process is running to generate billing schedules for the contract, you cannot create billing documents for those billing schedules until that background process is complete.
Billing Schedules are always generated from the last billing schedule of a contract or the start date of the contract if there are no billing schedules.
A job is created to generate the billing schedules and you are notified when the job is complete.
This also creates billing schedules for contract line items with the billing type "One-off" if they are not already associated with a billing schedule.
If after activating the renewal, you want to create further billing schedules for the contract, you must do so using the
Salesforce Billing Contract Detail page. See
Switching between Enhanced and Salesforce Detail Pages and
Setting up Default Detail Pages.
When the renewal is applied to the contract, you may need to create a change request to edit the contract depending on the options your administrator has chosen. See
FinancialForce Billing Central Settings and
Contract.
