Proration Engine

Run Revenue Operations Lifecycle Changes Critical capability Updated July 2026

Proration Engine — Calculates the fractional charge or credit when a change lands mid-cycle, so the invoice matches actual days of service at each price. Every lifecycle event — upgrades, downgrades, amendments, pauses — routes through it, and its output flows straight into invoicing and rev-rec.

Where it sits in the lifecycle

Proration Engine lives in the Lifecycle Changes phase of Run Revenue Operations — the stage where you collect the cash, close the books, keep customers healthy. In the corpus tool index this phase maps to the Billingcategory.
