Payment for rendered services
In this article:
Particular aspects of a payment for rendered services
- It is created only for subscriptions within the Postpay model and linked to an invoice (see Viewing details of the invoice for the Postpay charging model).
- It cannot be canceled, except for the case when external management of invoices for the Postpay model by a third-party ERP system is activated (see Managing invoices for the Postpay model by a third-party ERP system).
- It has the payment expiration period.
- It can have the Expired status. When a payment gets this status, all the subscriptions that are linked to the same invoice get the Blocked status (see Blocking a postpaid subscription).
- It cannot be joined with other payments in the Customer Control Panel (see Join payments).
- It can be paid from the account balance.
The payment is created automatically along with the invoice closure after the end of a billing period on the second day of the next billing period. The payment amount is equal to the sum of the costs of all consumed services and resources in the previous billing period.
If an account is not completed the payment within the payment expiration period (see Creating an account class), the payment gets the Expired status. An account can complete a payment both in the Waiting for payment and Expired statuses.
