Billing Usage - Examples

Pax8 will create billable charges for Partners based on the most recent totals for a given summaryKey on a
given Subscription in a given Billing Period. Below are some examples of potentially complex billing scenarios that will bring clarity onto the logic Pax8 uses when creating billable charges.

Example 1

• Vendor posts usage every day in October for a given subscription
• All usage is grouped under the same summaryKey

On November 3rd, Pax8 grabs the usage posted on October 31st for that one summaryKey, and uses that to create a billable charge

Example 2

• It's October 15th, and Vendor has been posting usage for a subscription every day with the latest totals.
• All usage is grouped under the same summaryKey
• On October 16th, for whatever reason, Vendor stops posting usage lines for that summaryKey. This persists for the rest of the month.

On November 3rd, Pax8 would grab the usage that was posted on October 15th, and use that to create a billable charge.

Example 3

• Vendor has been posting usage for a subscription every day with the latest totals.
• Usage is grouped by two unique summaryKey values, call them summaryKey A and B.
• On October 30th, Vendor posts usage lines for both summaryKey A and B.
• On October 31st, for whatever reason, Vendor only posts usage lines for summaryKey A. No lines are posted for summaryKey B on the 31st.

In this case, on November 3rd, Pax8 will create billable charges for summaryKey A using usage lines posted for it on October 31st.
Pax8 will create billable charges for summaryKey B using the lines posted for it on October 30th.
