Split month billing is a variation on monthly billing. The client is charged a “regular” rate for inbound storage in the first half of the month, and a “reduced” rate (i.e., 50% discount) for inbound storage with a receipt date after the 15th of the month. This billing option can address client resistance to monthly billing (having to pay for a whole month’s storage for inbound stock that arrives later in the month).
