Billing Report

Introduction

Users can be charged for conference reservations and dial-out calls during a conference. The system stores billing reports in database files which can be retrieved from the card by FTP. Dial-out calls must be charged through the Meridian system billing records.

Billing charges are based on the following:

The duration of the meeting, including any extension of the conference from either the BUI or by the chairperson using the *98 command from the keypad.

The number of ports booked for the meeting. The figure includes any increase in the number of ports during the conference from the BUI or a port increase provided automatically by the ICB.

Note: The system charges users for the number of ports booked for the conference. This charge does not depend on how many conferees participated in the meeting or the duration of each input call.

BUI configuration

The Billing Account ID for every user must be defined through the ICB Dashboard (see “Users List” on page 117). The Billing Account ID is the account number of the user, up to nine digits, for billing purposes. This number appears in ICB billing reports for conferences owned by the user.

The following options are available for generating billing reports (see “General Settings window” on page 108):

No billing – the system does not generate billing reports.

Billing Reports – the system generates billing reports.

Billing Reports & CDR – the system generates billing reports and Call Detail Records. This option is only available on the CS 1000.
