a usage period. If usage is billed on the first day of each month, for
example, the pool linkage date also has to be the first day of the
month.
Example:
Billing period for usage: 01/01/2003-01/31/2003, 02/01/2003-02/28/2003,
and so on.
The pool linkage has to start on February 1, 2003, for example, for the
billing period to remain synchronous.
