Example of License-based subscription with quantity change.

Invoice date: 01.02.2021, billing period 01.01.2021-31.01.2021. Quantity change event has happened on 05.01.2021.

The invoice includes a cycle fee, and a correction line.

In Microsoft's case there are four lines:

  • Prorate fee when renew - cycle for the new period (01.02.2021-28.02.2021)
  • 1st Cycle instance prorate - cost with the old quantity for the first five days of the billing cycle (01.02.2021-05.02.2021)
  • 2nd Cycle instance prorate - cost with the new quantity for the period from the sixth day of the cycle until the next billing cycle (06.02.2021-28.02.2021)
  • 3rd Cycle instance prorate - correction for the amount that has already been invoiced in the previous invoice (the previous invoice included a cycle fee for period 01.01.2021-31.01.2021 with the old quantity)
Microsoft charge type Total price
Prorate fee when renew 2791.8
Cycle instance prorate 579.73
Cycle instance prorate 2193.56
Cycle instance prorate -2705.4
Total Cycle instance prorate 67.89
