Applies to

Introduced in version 12.0.0


Service Billing Detail Report Overview


Purpose of the report

This Service Billing Detail Report presents service billing information at a very low level of granularity, identifying when services were provisioned and de-provisioned and who actioned them, down to the minute.

This information enables service providers to invoice their customers for services consumed for part of the billing month.  The report also identifies which services are billable and non-billable as well as the reason for them not being billed (note this is only displayed in the Excel/API output).

Accessing the report

The report can be accessed by service providers and their customers and is located in the Atria Reports menu item.

Billing Detail Page




Note: Atria provides service providers and their customers with full transparency of all billing items. This enables customers to answer their own billing queries and for both the customer and service provider to access a billing 'single source of the truth'.

Billing Period Data Generation

Billing data is automatically generated at the end of the billing period which must be configured by the Service Provider. All service changes during the month are billable by default and the non-billable exceptions are recorded by applying Service Billing Configuration Rules when the data is generated.

Filtering Billing Period Data

The Service Billing Details report has comprehensive filtering capabilities in the top filter bar. All items are inclusive and further restrict the data after clicking the link. 
Filter items are defined as follows:

Filter Item
Description
Billing Period
The billing month in which services were used. The data for the billing period is automatically generated according to the Billing Period End date which is configured for the service provider. This defaults to the current billing period on entry to the screen but users can select previous billing periods.
Customer
Lists all customers applicable to the currently logged in user. When selected, only billing items related to the selected customer will be displayed.
Service
Lists all available services. Selecting a service will further restrict the data items.
User
A free text box where a specific user UPN can be entered to restrict all records to that user.
Billable
Use these radio buttons to restrict the data to only display items that are billable, non-billable or both.
Action
All service items have an 'action' for the current billing period. Items can either have been provisioned (Added), De-provisioned (Removed) or Carried over from the previous billing period (Carried).
Actioned Date
The date the billing item was added or removed.
Actioned By
The name of the Atria user who performed the add/remove.
