Charges for the Subscriptions with different billing types

General information about Charges generation

Charges are generated at the moment of the Order creation, excluding charges for the Pay as you go billing type (see the paragraph about the generation of Debits in the Charges for Pay-as-you-go billing type article).

The table below shows the operations that cause Charges generation.

    The new Charges are generated due to the splitting of the Recurring fee Charge for the current Billing period (see Splitting of Charges when an amount of Subscription Resources is reduced); additional Recurring fee Charges are created for each of subsequent Billing periods of a Resource reduced amount usage up until the Subscription period end.

When Subscription is stopped, the new Charges are generated due to the splitting of the Recurring fee Charge for the current Billing period (see Splitting of Charges when a Subscription is stopped). This is applicable to the Subscriptions with the CSP annual, CSP monthly and G Suite billing types.
