Minimum Commitment Troubleshooting
This section deals with minimum commitment troubleshooting.
If the app does not re-generate a new invoice after being triggered by the bill run, check the following:
Step 1:
Ensure that the bill run target date is greater than or equal to the next true up date.
Step 2:
Ensure that there is only one true up charge against an invoice.
Perform the following actions to verify that there is only one true up charge against an invoice.
- For the true up charge, verify that only a single period is billed in the invoice. If multiple periods are billed at the same time, re-run the bill run with the updated target date to only include the first period.
- Ensure that there is only one minimum commitment subscription in the invoice at a time. If there are more than one, rerun the bill runs individually for each one of them and invoice them separately.
Step 3:
If the issue persists even after checking the other validation methods, perform the following actions:
- Cancel the last draft invoice associated with the true up charge.
- To avoid wrong calculations, check if there are pending true up usages added by the minimum commitment app in the last run and delete if any.
- Update 'next true up date' to true up charge's NCD (next charge date) or charge end date - whichever is lower.
- Perform a new bill run with the target date that is the same as the 'next true up date' set in the last step.
- After the minimum commitment invoice is created, if you want to generate your invoice with a different target date, you can do so (without triggering the app) after updating the true up usage quantity accordingly and canceling the last invoice.
