Usage rating by billing period
The usage rating by billing period groups records from specified files into monthly billing periods, calculating quantity and charge amounts for each period.
The
By Billing Period
option groups usage records from the uploading1.xls and uploading2.xls files by monthly billing period. The usage records from these files are divided into two rating groups representing billing periods:
- 01/01/2018 - 01/31/2018
- 02/01/2018 - 02/28/2018
The following table describes how the quantity and charge amount are calculated for each rating group:
| Rating Group (Billing Period) | Total Quantity | Tier | Charge Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01/01/2018 - 01/31/2018 | 160 =(20+90+50) | 3 | $1440 |
| 02/01/2018 - 02/28/2018 | 195 =(80+15+100) | 3 | $1755 |
The following table shows the generated invoice details for each billing period:
| Service Period | Quantity | Invoice Total |
