The developed automation system at the enterprise, which allows to calculate the cost of services for a specific client, stores all information about existing tariffs, cost characteristics, billing for payment, received the name of the billing system. Such an organization can significantly reduce the time to obtain the required information at the request of each client, both for the company's employees and for the clients themselves.

The Right Concept

However, the concept of billing includes not only the process of billing services, but also the process of payment of certain charged accounts by wire transfer. The concept of billing defines the pricing characteristics of a particular account object, personalized by the provision of invoices for used services at existing rates.

The existing automation system constantly monitors and controls all forms of payment (cash and non-cash) when funds are received on special personalized accounts, and on the basis of existing funds provides customers with the opportunity to use a certain set of services (traffic, network resources, telephone, etc.) information on the sale of products.

In terms of their functionality, billing systems are divided into three large classes: designed for transnational telecom operators, national scale companies and systems for regional networks. Products and services within the framework of the first class of billing systems must provide interaction between subjects at the international level, regardless of time zones. They differ in multilingual interface and multi-currency mode. For a particular country, such systems have a specific taxation system. Billing systems of this class are characterized by tight integration with existing accounting products.

Second class billing systems are organized in the case of certain and specific requirements of the companies - operators. The choice of the interface and network features is carried out depending on the selected calculation system. Such products have a high cost of development and subsequent maintenance. Third class products are distinguished by classic billing requirements. The organization of such systems is based on the client-server network architecture.
