1.3 Calculate LPC

Reference: Manage Late Payment Charge Process Model - Page 1 for the business process diagram associated with this activity.

Actor/Role: CC&B

Description: If configured CC&B assesses a late payment charge for every Service Agreement associated with an account. Included in the calculation are debits based on the Bill's Late Payment Charge Date minus all the recent credits for the given Service Agreement. An Adjustment is created and applied to the Service Agreement. The system can then pass along the Late Payment fees to a Service Provide.

Available Algorithms

•

LPC-DFLT (BILPC-TOTAL) - This algorithm type is used to calculate the late payment charge amount for a specific service agreement linked to an account. The late payment charge amount is calculated by multiplying the current amount due on the late payment charge cutoff date minus all recent credits by the LPC Percentage (defined using Bill Factor Code). It's important to note that LPC percentage changes are not prorated. The system levies the late payment charge against the service agreement by creating an adjustment (the adjustment type is defined using Adjustment Type).

•

BILPC-SPRC1 (BILPC-SPRC) - This algorithm calculates late payment charges associated with the debt associated with "they bill for us" (TBFU) service providers. TBFU service providers are organizations that provide billing services for a company. Charges are calculated and then transferred to the service provider and the service provider sends them to the customer.
