Once your services are activated, an invoice will be generated and sent via email to the billing address you provided on the order. Activation of service (also called provisioning) sets the invoicing process in motion. Provisioning times vary by product:
Invoices are delivered after:
Of course. Watch this helpful video that explains cloud invoicing.
Activation of service (provisioning) begins the invoicing process. The timeline for provisioning varies for different cloud products, even when booked in the same order. So you may receive multiple invoices prior to the completion of your implementation.
Oracle’s PaaS and IaaS public cloud service subscriptions do not expire. You may continue to use the service after the end of the initial subscription period. If you do, you will be billed and your usage will be:
Original pricing and discounts will apply.
Invoices are delivered via email. Once services are activated, an invoice will be generated and sent to the bill-to contact email address provided on the order.
The bill-to contact may also retrieve the invoice by logging into their account on the Account Dashboard
There are several reasons why invoice values may not match the order document or customer-issued purchase order.
Multiple Invoices for a Single Order
Activation of service (provisioning) is the trigger for generating invoices. Provisioning times vary by product. For this reason, multiple invoices may be generated for a single order, resulting in a difference between the invoice amount and the ordering document.
Co-Terming
The service periods for all products on a subscription are set to expire on the same day. This is referred to as co-terming. Provisioning times vary by product, and, as a result, the period of service for products that provision later will have a shorter term than that stated on the ordering document. Costs are prorated to reflect the reduced service period. As an example:
PaaS | January 1st–December 31st | 12 Months | $24,000 |
SaaS | February 1st–December 31st | 11 Months | $22,000 |
Overage
Customers may use more PaaS and IaaS services than originally purchased under the Universal Credits Model. Usage above the committed amount of the subscription is billed monthly in arrears.
Oracle invoices by subscription. Multiple orders for a single subscription will be consolidated on subsequent invoices. For example: a base order with an add-on or expansion service.
Delays in service activation (provisioning) result in an invoice amount that is less than the amount of the entire order. Oracle does not charge for the period the service was not active.
Oracle permits the use of additional capacity above the subscription rate for some non-metered services. This is referred to as “bursting.” Total capacity (subscription quantity plus bursting) cannot exceed two times (2x) your subscription. For example, if you have purchased a subscription that allows 4 OCPUs per month, your bursting would be capped at a total of 8 OCPUs for that service. You will be charged per hour and billed monthly in arrears for this increased capacity using the Pay As You Go model. Pricing for this increased capacity will be based on the current per-hour list price available at cloud.oracle.com.

The POEF-1 confirms that the issuance of a purchase order is not a standard process for your company.
Pooled capacity products are not prorated based on the duration of the contract. All of the services purchased may be used at any time during the service period.

Oracle offers four different billing frequency options:
Yes. Oracle’s invoicing policy allows for future-dated transactions to be invoiced once provisioning of the cloud service is complete. The date of the invoice will be the date the invoice is issued (not the future date). Invoices may not be generated for services that are not yet provisioned.
Net 30 days from invoice date.
Oracle does not issue pro forma invoices, or produce invoices prior to an order being received, booking criteria verified, and the order fully processed.
In light of recent global and environmental developments, Oracle has implemented email as the standard for invoice delivery. The bill-to contact on file for an order receives an email notification once an invoice is available.

There are two ways you can add to the base subscription during the services period:

Multiple invoices may be generated for a single order if activation takes longer than 15 days
Multiple invoices may be generated for a single order in the following instances:
Subsequent invoices will be billed according to the terms of the base subscription.
Overage is usage that exceeds the purchased amount. When this happens, additional charges are incurred. To learn more, watch this video for a more detailed explanation.
Overage charges may be incurred if an expansion order is placed but not activated until after the end date of the original subscription.

Check to see if you have a contractual clause stating that you can request service credits. If you do, please contact Billing Support.
Please contact Billing Support in order to update credit card or PayPal information.
Yes. You can pay invoices with a credit card if:
Credit card is the only acceptable form of payment for transactions that are less than US$2,000.00 in countries where a credit card is an acceptable form of payment. Multiple orders cannot be combined to exceed the $2,000.00 threshold.
Please contact Billing Support for assistance.
