Delayed Usage Event Billing Enhancement

Allow insertion of usage events for usage bill lines that have already been interfaced to Fusion Accounts Receivables. When delayed usage is added for an already interfaced period, the Rating ESS job creates a new bill line for the same period (retaining Charge Name, Bill From/To, Sequence, etc,), recalculates the latest billable total, and sends only the new amount as a Invoice line to Fusion Accounts Receivables.

If the new bill line has not yet been interfaced and additional usage arrives, the same bill line is updated to reflect the latest amount. Delayed usage events are supported across all rating models with no restrictions. For closed accounting periods in Fusion Accounts Receivables, set the Transaction Source “Accounting Date in a Closed Period” to ADJUST so only the accounting date moves to the next open period; invoice/transaction dates remain unchanged. The same behavior applies to Fusion Revenue Management Cloud. 

• Accelerated corrections: Adjust billed usage post-interface without manual reversals or complex re-billing.
• Financial accuracy: Automated adjusted billing and allowance reversal ensure precise, auditable revenue corrections.
• Reduced revenue leakage: Seamlessly captures late or corrected usage across all rating models.
• Operational efficiency: Reuse of the new bill line until interfaced minimises fragmentation and rework.
• Period control compliance: Honours closed period rules by moving only the accounting date while preserving invoice/transaction dates.
• Improved customer experience: Timely, transparent adjustments reduce billing disputes and credits.
