When you invoice a usage order product, Salesforce Billing evaluates its related usage
summaries. If a usage summary's next billing date ends on or before the invoice's target date,
Salesforce Billing includes that summary's usage data in the resulting invoice line. This way, all
usage summaries that end before the invoice target date are billed on the invoice. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)

Important Usage summaries also have a next billing date, which Salesforce Billing
uses instead of the related order product's next billing date. By default, the summary's next
billing date inherits the value of the Summary End Date field. If the summary's Override Summary
End Date field has a value, the next billing date uses that instead.
Remember, a usage summary multiplies its unit price by its billed quantity to determine its
unbilled subtotal. As Salesforce Billing invoices the usage summary, Salesforce Billing subtracts
the invoiced balance from the unbilled subtotal and adds it to the invoice line's subtotal. This
procedure lets you monitor how much of your usage summary has been billed. When invoicing
finishes successfully, the invoice line has the original balance of the usage summary's unbilled
subtotal, while the summary's current unbilled subtotal has been reduced to zero.
Your invoice also line inherits its start date and end date from the usage summary's start date
and end date.
Important You can add usage to a usage summary only when the usage summary has a
status of New. During and after billing, the summary can't receive further usage.
Example Let's say you invoice a usage order product on 08/01/18. The invoice has a target date of
08/01/2018, and the order product contains the following usage summaries.
Usage Summary
Next Billing Date
US-001
07/31/18
US-002
08/31/18
US-003
09/30/18
In this case, Salesforce Billing invoices only US-001. Let's look at that summary's
billing details and see how they flow into the resulting invoice line.
Usage Summary US-001 (Before Invoicing)
Summary Start Date: 07/01/18
Summary End Date: 07/31/18
Unbilled Quantity: 5000
Unit Price: $0.50
Unbilled Subtotal: $2500
Invoice Line for US-001
Start Date: 07/01/18
End Date: 07/31/18
Subtotal: $2500
Usage Summary US-001 (After Invoicing)
Unbilled Quantity: 0
Billed Quantity: 5000
Unbilled Subtotal: $0
