@Sue Bhuvan You can do the pre-billing part using the Included Quantity field on the usage item price plan, and combining it with a recurring or one-time item. The non-usage item is set to bill $10k. The usage is set to include the qty of usage that equals $10k, so no usage charges will be made until they have consumed the prepaid amount. The rev rec is a lot harder, though. Do you have other elements in the arrangement besides just the usage and prepayment?

Thank you @Catherine Fray . There are no other elements in the arrangements. It's just the usage and prepayment. The problem with using a one-time item for the prepayment is that NS doesn't provide a way an automated way to recognize a particular amount every month (that's supposed to be usage amount). So if I have 100s of prepaids, then that's a lot of manual work. No?

@Sue Bhuvan Agreed...I'm not certain I have a way to get you all the way through to rev rec as you would like. I have often combined a line with FV of 0 (in this case, the prepaid) with another item that is sold for 0 (the placeholder) does have a FV and is configured to recognize revenue as you would want it. The usage line must have an allocation type of Exclude so will not participate. You can pass the revenue from the prepaid item to the placeholder, but that only helps if you can tell the placeholder how to recognize, and I'm not sure that you can.

oh if only... 😞
