Assigns, replaces, updates, and/or cancels multiple plans (both master and Supplemental Plans) for a specified account.

In addition to Plan assignment, you can also make the following Plan changes:

  • Assign billing groups, dunning groups and collection groups
  • Assign a promotion code or a coupon
  • Change the number of Plan unit instances assigned to an account
  • Assign services
  • Change the plan's fulfillment date
  • Assign standard and custom rate schedules
  • Assign surcharges
  • Assign a dunning state
  • Assign the responsibility level (parent, self-pay, etc.)
  • Assign proration and invoicing options
  • Reset billing dates
  • Enable usage pooling
  • Assign NSO items and their billing options
  • Assign payment terms or methods

Note: The previously existing input and/or output fields <client_item_id>, <client_item_id_out> and/or <filter_client_item_id> were removed from this API call in Release 47.

You can assign, update, modify, and cancel multiple plans in a single API call. However, each Plan instance can only be given one operation per call, i.e., you cannot update and cancel the same Plan instance within the same call.

If you want to add new Master Plans to an existing account, and align the new plan's anniversary date with the existing plans, you can use the override_dates_mp_instance_no field.

When adding or replacing supplemental fields on an existing account, you can align the anniversary date to its Master Plan Instance with the auto_offset_months field.

When adding, replacing and canceling a Plan, you can use the <alt_proration_start_date> field to align the start dates of all the affected plans on the account.

Any field on a Plan can be updated. You can clear the value in any field with a type of "string", provided that the field is nullable for a Plan, by entering a '~' in that field.

For information on various scenarios involving date options in this API, see update_acct_plan_multi_m Use Cases.

Notes:

  • If you assign a Supplemental Plan at the same time as its Master Plan and provide an override bill through date, the bill through date for the supplemental is determined based on your setting for the parameter Override Bill Thru Date Supp Plan Behavior.

    To see a description of the parameter, click Configuration > Billing > Invoice Settings.
  • To determine the Master Plan's bill day when the update_acct_plan_multi_m API is called, Aria considers the following inputs in the order listed below:
    1. <override_bill_thru_date>;
    2. then whichever of these you passed in: <alt_start_date> or <alt_bill_day>; 
    3. then whichever of these you passed in: <retroactive_start_date> or <effective_date>.
  • This API performs a maximum of 100 Plan updates in a single call.

brd_arrow.gif bill_lag_days

long 10

Bill lag days are the number of days prior to (negative) or after (positive) an account billing date at which an invoice should be generated for your specified master plan instance. 

Negative bill lag days are typically used for subscription-based services (often subscription-based services paid using net terms), for which you would like to send out invoices to your customers well in advance of the real invoice date. This gives your customers time to receive a paper or email invoice (statement) and send a payment before the actual invoice date.

Positive bill lag days typically apply to usage-based services. 

Examples:

  • If you want an invoice to be generated 14 days before the billing date, pass -14 into this field.
  • If you want an invoice to be generated 10 days after the billing date, pass 10 into this field.

By default, bill lag days are restricted to +/- the (minimum number of days in a recurring billing period – 1 day). However, if your  Allow Negative Bill Lag Days to Extend Beyond One Bill Cycle parameter is set to True (in the Aria application under Configuration > Billing> Invoice Settings), then the negative value can go beyond a single billing period.

Bill lag days can be removed via APIs update_acct_plan_m, replace_acct_plan_m, update_acct_plan_multi_m and update_acct_complete_m). To remove the MPI bill lag days, pass the standard "numeric erase" indicator of a tilde (~) for <bill_lag_days> input.

Note:

  • Although ‘-999’ happens to be a valid bill_lag_days value when the your parameter “_Allow Negative Bill Lag Days to Extend Beyond One Bill Cycle_” is “True”, it is obviously not practical as a real value on the APIs as there are not many plausible scenarios where a customer would be invoiced that far in advance.

Aria will set the bill lag days for plans using this order of precedence:

  1. Master plan instance (for a given account)
  2. Collection group setting
  3. Payment terms/payment method setting
  4. Client setting (Configuration > Billing > Bill Lag Days)

Notes:

  • You cannot pass a value into the <bill_lag_days> field by itself. You must also pass in a value to update the plan units, plan status, and/or alternate rate schedule.
  • <bill_lag_days> cannot be passed in as part of an API call used to schedule changes that will take place on a customer's anniversary date. You must set the <bill_lag_days> to go into effect on a date other than the anniversary date.

    Example: If you have an MPI replacement scheduled for a customer's anniversary date, you should not set <bill_lag_days> in the API used for the MPI replacement. If you do, Aria will ignore the <bill_lag_days>.
Start of assign_plan_unit_instances array
  brd_arrow.gif assign_plan_unit_instances array   Array of Plan unit instances to be assigned for this account. This array is relevant only when assigning a new Plan to an account (plan_directive = 1) or when increasing the number of units purchased for a given Plan instance (plan_directive = 3 and plan_units specified in this API request is greater than what is currently on the account). Any existing Plan unit instances for a given Plan instance can be updated using the update_plan_unit_instances array. In all other scenarios, the inputs provided in this array will be ignored. Plan unit instances in this array should be applied using a first-in-first-associated methodology. 1) If for example fewer Plan unit instances are specified than the number of Plan units being assigned, then the remaining Plan unit instances will not have a client-defined Plan unit instance ID. 2) If for example the number of Plan unit instances exceeds the number of Plan units being assigned, then the extra client-defined Plan unit instance ids will be ignored.

  brd_arrow.gif dunning_state long 1

Dunning state assigned to the Master Plan Instance. In Progress indicates the Master Plan is in dunning. None indicates the Master Plan is not in dunning. Note that dunning state is applicable only for Master Plans and is set to Complete by the system once the dunning process is completed. Note that Master Plans cannot be canceled via update_acct_plan_multi_m when dunning is in progress.

If you set this field to 1 (in progress), then you can specify one or more of the following dunning options available in these fields:

  • <degrade_date>;
  • <new_dunning_step>;
  • <config_dunning_late_fee_option>; and/or
  • <config_dunning_email_option>.

Note 1:

  • When you change the <dunning_state> to 0 (none), you should also pass in your chosen  <plan_status_cd> for the MPI (Master Plan Instance).

    Example: you may want to change the MPI's status from
    -1 (suspended) to 1 (active).
  • If you set this field to 1 (in progress) but the MPI does not have a balance due, then Aria will move the MPI out of dunning on the date on which the next dunning step begins.This applies to MPIs associated with either payment type: net terms or electronic.

 

Note 2:

In addition to self-pay MPIs, dunning input arguments can now also now be used for parent-pay MPIs. Also note that when self-pay MPI manually enters dunning via this API, all of their parent-pay MPIs will enter dunning. This is only applicable when entering the dunning. During this special process of entering parent-pay MPI, the “config_dunning_late_fee_option and config_dunning_email_option” will only be applicable for self-pay MPIs and NOT to the parent-pay MPI.

Array of collection groups that should be added to or removed from the specified billing groups.

For cost savings or for other reasons, you may choose to have payments made with a particular payment method (associated with a billing group) processed by a specific payment gateway. To do so, you can assign a collection group to a billing group by passing values into the collection_group_bg_row array.

Notes:

  • Aria will use this order of precedence when selecting the payment gateway to use for processing a payment:
  1. Collection group assigned to the billing group associated with the master plan instance being invoiced;
  2. Collection group to which the customer is assigned at the account level.
  • Aria now will allow accounts to have multiple billing groups with different collection groups when using tokenized credit cards that were tokenized outside of Aria. To facilitate multiple payment methods, the billing agreement ID (token) is validated against the specific collection group. When there is no collection group specified, then the agreement ID will be validated against the account level collection group. When no collection group at account level or billing group level is specified, then the agreement ID will be validated against the last processor mapped to that client.

  assignment_directive long 8 The rule to be applied to this assignment request, governing the proration rule is applied. Default behavior is to make the Plan change (assign/deassign a Plan to an account, change units on an existing Plan, etc.) immediately based on client-defined default proration rule, resulting in appropriate prorated charge and credit. Usage-arrears charges, recurring-in-arrears charges, and any Plan cancellation fees (if applicable) will be invoiced during Plan cancellation, as these charges are independent of assignment directive. If plan_directive = 1 (assign case), then assignment_directive field is honored only for Supplemental Plan, and not for Master Plan.

Allowable values for assignment_directive

Values Description
1 (Default) Perform the requested Plan change on the account's next scheduled billing anniversary date. The account does receive service under this Plan (for Plan assignments) or have it removed (for de-assignments) until that date. If a Plan is being assigned, initial billing for a full period of the given Plan is performed on the account's next scheduled anniversary date. No charge or credit proration effect. No new recurring charges or credits are generated when no proration occurs. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.
2 Perform the requested Plan change immediately, honoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration as a result of a mid-billing-period Plan assignment or de-assignment. No new recurring charges or credits are generated when no proration occurs. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.
3 Perform the requested Plan change immediately, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing NO PRORATION. No new recurring charges or credits are generated when no proration occurs. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.
4 Perform the requested Plan change immediately, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing PRORATION. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.
5 Perform the requested Plan change immediately, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing PRORATION FOR CHARGES ONLY. NOTE: This value is not permitted when cancelling Supplemental Plans.Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3.
6 Perform the requested Plan change immediately, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing PRORATION FOR CREDITS ONLY. NOTE: This value is not permitted when assigning Supplemental Plans. Applicable when plan_directive = 2, 3, 4.
7 Perform the requested Plan change on the specified effective_date, honoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration as a result of a mid-billing-period Plan assignment or de-assignment. No new recurring charges or credits are generated when no proration occurs. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.
8 Perform the requested Plan change on the specified effective_date, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing NO PRORATION. No new recurring charges or credits are generated when no proration occurs. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.
9 Perform the requested Plan change on the specified effective_date, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing PRORATION. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3, 4.

NOTE: This value is not permitted when cancelling a Supplemental Plan. Applicable when plan_directive = 1, 2, 3.
11 Perform the requested Plan change on the specified effective_date, ignoring the client's pre-configured universal rule for performing or not performing proration and forcing PRORATION FOR CREDITS ONLY. NOTE: This value is not permitted when assigning a Supplemental Plan. Applicable when plan_directive = 2, 3, 4.
  alt_start_date string 10 Alternative start date, in yyyy-mm-dd format, for the Master Plan Instance being assigned on the account. This date can be used to delay providing services to the account holder (for example: until they have been email validated), and must be within one billing interval of the Plan being assigned.
  retroactive_start_date string 10 Date, in yyyy-mm-dd format, to set for retroactive start.
  override_bill_thru_date string 14 Applicable only for Master Plan assignment. When provided, this date will be used as the bill thru date for the Master Plan Instance. The alt_start_date or retroactive_start_date input will be honored with override_bill_thru_date, but invoicing_option must be set to Perform Prorated Invoicing. The override_dates_mp_instance_no or override_dates_client_mp_instance_id parameters take precedence over this input parameter, and if provided together the override_bill_thru_date input will be ignored. The date provided must be in the future, must be after the alt_start_date (if provided), and cannot exceed one recurring billing interval. This parameter cannot be used with alt_bill_day or status_until_alt_start (defaults to Inactive). A prorated invoice will be generated for recurring services from the effective start date of the Plan instance through the override_bill_thru_date provided. If the Plan being assigned has no usage services, the next_bill_date (aka anniversary date) will be the override_bill_thru_date + 1 day. If the Plan has usage services, then the next_bill_date will be calculated based on the usage interval to be the earliest date in the future that will ensure usage and recurring services will be invoiced together on the override_bill_thru_date + 1 day.
  override_dates_mp_instance_no long 100 Applicable only for Master Plan assignment. When provided, the billing dates for the new Master Plan being assigned will be aligned with the billing dates of the existing Master Plan Instance specified (honoring the bill day of the existing Master Plan Instance). The alt_start_date or retroactive_start_date input will be honored with the override_dates_mp_instance_no or the override_dates_client_mp_instance_id, but invoicing_option must be set to Perform Prorated Invoicing. These parameters take precedence over the override_bill_thru_date parameter, and cannot be used with alt_bill_day or status_until_alt_start (defaults to Inactive). If the recurring interval of the new Master Plan Instance will be the same as or longer than the existing Master Plan Instance, a prorated invoice for the Master Plan being assigned will be generated for recurring services from the effective start date of the Plan instance through the bill_thru_date of the existing Master Plan Instance. If the recurring interval of the new Master Plan Instance will be shorter than the existing Master Plan Instance, the bill_thru_date for the new Master Plan Instance will be calculated based on its recurring interval to be the earliest date in the future that will ensure the recurring services for both Master Plan Instances will be invoiced together on the existing Master Plan Instance's bill_thru_date + 1 day. In the above scenarios, if the new Master Plan Instance has no usage services, the next_bill_date (aka anniversary date) will be the bill_thru_date + 1 day. If the new Master Plan Instance has usage services, then the next_bill_date will be calculated based on the usage interval to be the earliest date in the future that will ensure usage and recurring services will be invoiced together on the bill_thru_date + 1 day.
  OR      
  override_dates_client_mp_instance_id string 100 Applicable only for Master Plan assignment. When provided, the billing dates for the new Master Plan being assigned will be aligned with the billing dates of the existing Master Plan Instance specified (honoring the bill day of the existing Master Plan Instance). The alt_start_date or retroactive_start_date input will be honored with the override_dates_mp_instance_no or the override_dates_client_mp_instance_id, but invoicing_option must be set to Perform Prorated Invoicing. These parameters take precedence over the override_bill_thru_date parameter, and cannot be used with alt_bill_day or status_until_alt_start (defaults to Inactive). If the recurring interval of the new Master Plan Instance will be the same as or longer than the existing Master Plan Instance, a prorated invoice for the Master Plan being assigned will be generated for recurring services from the effective start date of the Plan instance through the bill_thru_date of the existing Master Plan Instance. If the recurring interval of the new Master Plan Instance will be shorter than the existing Master Plan Instance, the bill_thru_date for the new Master Plan Instance will be calculated based on its recurring interval to be the earliest date in the future that will ensure the recurring services for both Master Plan Instances will be invoiced together on the existing Master Plan Instance's bill_thru_date + 1 day. In the above scenarios, if the new Master Plan Instance has no usage services, the next_bill_date (aka anniversary date) will be the bill_thru_date + 1 day. If the new Master Plan Instance has usage services, then the next_bill_date will be calculated based on the usage interval to be the earliest date in the future that will ensure usage and recurring services will be invoiced together on the bill_thru_date + 1 day.
  alt_bill_day long 2 Number specifying a day of the month to use as an alternate bill day. You can enter a bill date other than the anniversary date in this field. The invoice_mode must be set to 0 or must be blank to enter a date in this field, it cannot be set to 1.
