Universal Module: Pro Rata Cutoff Day

[hpno]

I added an option with 3 months price, then choose Pro rata Cutoff Day as 15. When placing order today, the 14th, system generated an invoice with "3 Months - $70.43 (Mar 14, 2015 - Apr 01, 2015)" term, while it should be from Mar 14 to May 31, is that correct?

No, it looks like the invoice line item is correct for that order, considering your pro rata settings.

 

Since pro rata is enabled, the system will bill from now until the pro rata day. Your pro rata day is set to 1, i.e., to the first of the month. So one line item will be prorated from the order date (Mar 14) until the first of the next month (Apr 1).

 

The pro rata cut off day indicates a day of the month after which the service should be billed for its full term. Because you have the cut off day set to the 15th, and ordered on the 14th, the cut off does not take effect. This behavior is also noted in the documentation.

 

If you ordered the service on the 16th, then you would have a line item for the prorated cost from Mar 16 to Apr 1, and also another line item for the 3 months Apr 1 - July 1.
