Activities
The following rules apply for the adjustment:

• This program adjusts the amounts of all lines of a payment scheme that
are changeable after the from-date. The changeability statuses of thelines are taken into account. If a line has the changeability status01 Do Not Adjust for Interim and Periodic Bill, the system doesnot adjust it and skips to the next line.

• For all adjustment types, the program prorates the payment scheme for
the from-date if necessary, and then includes all other lines after thefrom-date in the adjustment. For example:
The payment scheme currently consists of one line: June 1, 2008 #December 31, 9999.
You want the from-date to be August 1, 2009.
After the adjustment, the following lines exist:
August 1, 2009 # December 31, 9999 with an adjusted amount
June 1, 2008 # July 31, 2009 with an unaffected amount

• If you selected the Only Until End Billing Period option, the
system prorates the payment scheme at the end of the billing period thatcontains the from-date if necessary. For example:
The payment scheme currently consists of one line: June 1, 2008 #December 31, 9999.
You want the from-date to be August 1, 2009. The option Only Until EndBilling Period is selected.
The billing period is April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010
After adjustment, the following lines exist:
April 1, 2010 # December 31, 9999 with an unaffected amount
August 1, 2009 # March 31, 2010 with an adjusted amount
June 1, 2008 # July 31, 2009 with an unaffected amount
