Description
Charge Period Start represents the inclusive start date and time within a charge period. For example, a time period where ChargePeriodStart is '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z' and ChargePeriodEnd is '2024-01-02T00:00:00Z' includes charges for January 1, since ChargePeriodStart is inclusive, but does not include charges for January 2 since ChargePeriodEnd is exclusive.
ChargePeriodStart MUST be present in the billing data, MUST be of type Date/Time, MUST be an inclusive value, and MUST NOT contain null values. ChargePeriodStart MUST match the beginning date and time boundary of the effective period of the charge.
