Actor/Role: CC&B

Description: CC&B calculates and creates the Payment Arrangement Bill Segment based on the supplied prorated Bill Period.

•	Manual Process: CSR or Authorized User provides the Bill period details if required. If not, the system defaults Bill period dates following the business rules:

•	Start Date:

•	If this is the first Bill Segment for the Service Agreement, the start date is set to the start date of the Service Agreement.

•	If this is the regular Bill Segment the start date is the previous Bill Segment's end date.

•

End Date:

•	If this is the last Bill Segment for the Service Agreement, Bill Segment's the end date is the Service Agreement's end date.

•	If this is the regular Bill Segment end date is the end date of Bill Cycle schedule window.

•	Automated Process: System identifies start and end date for the billing period using the same business rules as described in manual process.

Note: Every SA type defines the minimum number of days on a Bill Segment. Whenever the system attempts to create a Bill Segment other than the final Bill Segment, it checks if the number of days is at least as great as the minimum defined on the SA type.
