Step 1: Setting up Usage Detail Record Types

Start by configuring the available Usage Detail Record (UDR) Types. UDR Types are used to classify and group UDRs based on their business application. Users must select UDR Types when adding new Usage Services to a Subscription by using the Add Service Usage Action.  UDR Types can be used to define restrictions, such as mandatory UDR information for each Type. For example, if the UDR Source Category is defined as 'Mandatory' on the Type, the user must provide an 'Allowed' Source Category when ordering the Usage Service.

  • Through the Billing Run, where multiple Subscriptions are billed simultaneously.
  • Immediately, once the Action is executed, according to the "Usage Service Billing Rules" set in the 'Active' Billing Term Definition.
  • Through the Subscriptions page "Bill Subscriber" Action, where specific Subscriptions can be billed one by one. 

...

  • For Prepaid - Usage Service orders for Subscriptions of Prepaid Billing Term Schemes are always billed immediately and checked against Wallet Balance (If the Wallet Balance is not enough to cover the cost of the Usage Services, then the Services cannot be added to the Subscription).
  • For Normal - Usage Service orders for Subscriptions of Normal Billing Term Schemes are billed according to the configuration of 'Usage Service Billing Rules' set in the 'Active' Billing Term Definition. They can either be billed right after the execution of the Action (if the number of unbilled Services is greater than the defined number or if the amount of the unbilled Services is more than the defined amount) or by the next Billing Run.
