System information

Schedule: how often the report will be generated
DueIn: allowed time for payment in day (used only if the report is an invoice)
Status: billing status
Invoice Type: specifies the format of the invoice
Group By: specifies the format of the invoice
Separate by caller: every caller will receive a separate invoice (used for billing to end-users)
MailTo: list of email address where to send the generated report
Last Invoice Sent: date-time when the invoice was emailed to the recipient
Last Payment Received: date-time when the payment was received
Direction name: name of the billing entry
Type: specify the type of the price. For example the prices used when billing to endusers, or our minute costs to service providers.
Price calculations will be saved directly in the CDRs, thus can be used in prepaid billing. In the CDR records, the following fields are used for price
calculation:
-costprovider: used to calculating the minute price they needs to paid to service provider (Tmobile for example)
-costenduser: used for billing to our endusers (sip endusers, traffic senders)
-costcompany: can be used for profit calculations
-costsales: sales commission. If not set, than will be calculated by the commission value in users settings
-costother: can be used for any custom price calculation
Action: How to handle the calculated price in reporting. For example in “profit” calculations whe have expenses (prices paid for service providers) and
incomings (from our endusers). Thus we can simply subtract the expenses from the incomings to get the “profit”
Billing Steps: provider specific billing interval in sec
Min. Amount: the minimum payable duration in sec
Free Amount: you may have packets when the first X second is free
Free After: you may have packets when after X seconds the conversation is free
Currency: different providers may have different currency. Used for billing.
VAT Included: if the pricelist applied for this user is with VAT included. Set to 0 if VAT is not included. Used for billing.
VAT Value: the amount of VAT applied for the pricelist. Will have effect only if “VAT Included” is checked
Convert to NET value: if you have defined the pricelist with included VAT, you should check this option, otherwise you overcomplicate the billing process.
Thus the VAT value will be subtracted from the price, and you will have NET values in CDR records (try to use net values whenever possible). If you need
to generate invoice, make sure that all your prices are set without VAT (net) or you have checked the “Convert to NET value” checkbox.
Convert to XXX: if you have defined the pricelist in other currency than the native (configurations->currency), than your prices will be automatically
converted to native currency in CDR records.
Reseller: price created by resellers. Usually should be changed only by resellers (from web portal)
A leg grace: used for IVR billing. If the user will spend too much time using the IVR.
Traffic Direction: here you have to define the rules when the current pricing will be applied
Usually only one field needs to be specified here (for example all traffic from MizuTech SRL -caller)
The caller field will check the caller parent also, but the called field will not check the parent.
