Changing the Custom GAAP Month settings could delay the generation of your next month's invoice. Costs will be aggregated from your last generated invoice date to your new custom date and will only resume from the next invoicing cycle. Accordingly, the next invoice could also include two cycles of costs or none at all. Any costs created before this change would still use the original clearing date if applicable.
Note: If you want to update the date on which your invoices are generated, reach out to your CSM (or create a support ticket).
Below are some scenarios where the costs may differ in the initial month:
Current Date | Previous Invoice Generation Date | Custom GAAP Invoicing Date | Last Invoice | Next Invoice | Potential Initial Invoice Costs |
