# Editing Bill Cycle

The following criteria must be met for a customer’s Bill Cycle to be editable:

- Customer’s account status is billing-active
- Customer is not part of a corporate account OR it is the root account in a corporate account structure (cannot be a child account)
- Customer does not have a pending Bill Cycle change

To edit the Bill Cycle, click the pencil icon.

On clicking **SAVE**, whether the Bill Cycle is changed directly, or goes to a pending change status depends several factors. In most cases, a bill cycle change record is written and the Bill Cycle change is pending. However, if the account is a non-corporate account that has not yet been billed, and there is no usage in the current bill period for the account, then the customer’s Bill Cycle will be directly updated (no pending Bill Cycle change).

When a Bill Cycle change record is written, the account will show an ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/82971.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T10%3A47%3A47Z&se=2026-11-14T11%3A47%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=t8WomSH0LOTHECkYjgwUnhPLpUyJGDT9gpPYDDyzHYA%3D) icon next to the Bill Cycle to indicate there is a pending Bill Cycle change. The edit icon will no longer be available.
