In Ripple, there are two areas where you can modify invoice settings depending on the intended use.
Default settings configured on the Billing Group page.
Settings made on the Invoice Management screen, used when you want to edit only a specific month's invoice.
The first option refers to settings that can be configured when creating or editing a billing group under Billing Groups. When generating invoices after data aggregation is complete, Ripple uses these settings as the basis for invoice creation.
The second option is used when you want to modify settings for only a specific month, or when you need to modify the settings of an already generated invoice. Once an invoice is created in Ripple, settings can only be updated from the "Invoice Management" screen — not from the billing group settings. This specification is in place because updating for only the current month differs from the purpose of the default settings (option 1).
Steps to Set Up Default Billing Group Settings

Important Notes
Regarding Billing Group Support Fee Settings:
When you set up support fees for a billing group, these fees are calculated based on the usage amount derived from the calculation logic specified during the billing group's creation.
Therefore, if you are using the "True unblended" calculation method to determine your billing amount, you must configure the support fees within the billing group settings.
Please be aware that the support fees billed by AWS (which appear in Ripple's recalculation billing data) are calculated based on "Unblended" costs. This means they will differ from the usage fees calculated using the "True unblended" method.
