Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B — Use the 'Update prices' function on billing schedule lines, filtered by item group.
- A. Deleting and recreating billing schedules is inefficient, disruptive, and unnecessary. Dynamics 365 Finance provides built-in functionality to update prices without recreating schedules, and it risks losing billing history and existing schedule references.
- B. The 'Update prices' function on billing schedule lines allows you to filter by item group and apply new prices to all relevant lines, ensuring consistency and efficiency. This is the appropriate approach when prices need to be revised for a subset of billed items, as it updates only the relevant subscriptions.
- C. Modifying the unit price on the released product master does not automatically update existing billing schedule lines; it only affects new transactions. Subscription billing maintains its own pricing on the schedule, so this method does not apply to already-created schedules.
- D. Running the master planning batch recalculates production and inventory plans, not trade agreements or subscription billing prices. It is unrelated to the management of subscription billing price updates.
