Configuration Requirements for Billing

Configuring for billing involves obtaining a report of current rates, using a Billing Worksheet, and

adjusting rates, if necessary.

You can see what the current rates are for various statistics, such as base rates and pager calls,

through the Report Rates option in the Billing Menu. The reports chapter shows a sample report

of current base rates. Use any of the reports available through this option to see what the low

usage and high usage rates are and what the low/high boundary is for each statistic in the

categories mentioned earlier. When configuring for billing, you should obtain these reports to help

you determine which rates to set or adjust. If you are setting rates for many of the server usage

activities, you should also use the report of current rates as an extension of the Billing Worksheet,

marking it up to show the rates for all the various server usage activities desired.

Complete one Billing Worksheet for each line group. For all rates except Base Rates, specify the

Low rate, the High rate, and the Boundary (the point at which the High rate applies).

A sample Billing Worksheet is shown in Figure 11-2 and Figure 11-3. A blank worksheet is

located in Volume 2 of this manual.

Note: The Billing Worksheet has two pages. Be sure you complete both pages when working on Billing

Rates.

There are two types of mailbox access that you can bill for, logins and greets (number of times

greeting was played), and you can set a low usage rate, high usage rate, and a low/high

boundary for each type. The two types are shown on the worksheet and in Table 11-2 at the end

of this section.

The rates you set for mailbox access apply to all calls through the specified port (line) group.

As mentioned earlier in this chapter, a base rate is a flat fee that is charged at every billing period.

You must set a rate for each FCOS that you want to bill. You can only differentiate among the first

64 FCOSs; any FCOS higher than 64 is billed at the rates for FCOS 64.
