how to trigger bill generation or which field should be used/checked to start bill generation

  • 1.  how to trigger bill generation or which field should be used/checked to start bill generation

    Posted Mar 17, 2022 01:40
    Dear All,
    I would like to know how to set billing trigger value means based on which field bill generation will start.

    As per my understanding, Based on the billing period , we have to start bill generation but as per the TMF "billingPeriod A string. A billing time period. It can be recurring, for example: week, month,quarter of year, year "

    So I am not properly understanding what value i have to assign/set to billingPeriod field in my DB table so that i can use this value to periodically check whether the cycle is ending or not.

    (1) Suppose i set billingPeriod= month (monthly) means the billing cycle starts "1st of every month and ends with the last day of month" -- is this correct ?
    (2) Then the second case billing period starts on the 15th of every month and ends on the 14th. So for this case how to set billingPeriod value or which value?

    The Brief of my doubt is how and where to set billing period(or billing start/trigger value) value so that my billingSystem can use this value and trigger bill generation

    Or is there any other field which can be used to check bill generation triggers?

    Kindly help me in this regard.
