A customer's bill group is selected when a new customer account is created. The bill group that is specified on existing accounts can be changed, however accounts which are not invoiced for subscription and usage charges will have the bill group option greyed out (the bill group settings of the accounts being invoiced, a.k.a. the ‘invoicer’ will be used in this scenario).

  • Name: a unique and descriptive name for the bill group

  • Bill Day*: sets the default bill day for accounts. The bill day can be any number between 1 and 28. If this field is left empty the bill day of accounts created under this bill group will be the day that the account is created

  • Usage Bill Day*: sets the default day usage will be billed for accounts. The usage bill day can be any number between 1 and 28. If this field is left empty the usage bill day for accounts created under this bill group will be the day the account is created
