Optional setting to define a billing cycle date, which sets the date of the first Bill and acts as a reference for when in the applied billing frequency period subsequent bills are created:

• For example, if you attach a Plan to an Account where the Plan is configured for monthly billing frequency and you've defined the period the Plan will apply to the Account to be from January 1st, 2022 until January 1st, 2023. You then set a billEpoch date of February 15th, 2022. The first Bill will be created for the Account on February 15th, and subsequent Bills created on the 15th of the months following for the remainder of the billing period - March 15th, April 15th, and so on.
• If not defined, then the relevant Epoch date set for the billing frequency period at Organization level will be used instead.

• If you define an Account currency, this will be used for bills.
• If you do not define a currency, the billing currency defined at Organizational level will be used.

Note: If you've attached a Plan to the Account that uses a different currency to the billing currency, then you must add the relevant currency conversion rate at Organization level to ensure the billing process can convert line items calculated using the Plan currency into the selected billing currency. If you don't add these conversion rates, then bills will fail for the Account.
