•	Batch Billing

Actor/Role: CC&B

Description: Bill Completion is the last and one of the most critical components of the Billing process. The system completes the Bill and it's ready for extract and print. This process could be initiated manually and automatically. CC&B makes use of Pre-Bill Completion algorithms. Based on configuration, one such algorithm can delete Bill Segments in error, create Bill messages for the deleted segments, and create a To Do entry.

•	Manual Process: Based on configuration, additional Bill Messages can be added

•	Automated Process: (Batch billing) If required, such algorithms can:

•	Delete Bill Segments in error, create Bill messages for the deleted segments, and create a To Do entry

•	Delete bill certain type of financial transactions linked to the bill, for example, if only payments exist for newly created Bill

•	Evaluate LPC eligibility

•	Evaluate option to post frequent flier miles

Available Algorithms

•	DEL-BSEG -This Bill pre-completion algorithm deletes Bill Segments that are in Error.

•	CPBC-DB - Pre-bill completion algorithm determines to delete a bill if it only contains frozen financial transactions of given types.

•

C1-CPBC-TAXT - This customer class pre-bill completion algorithm checks if taxes should be charged by comparing the bill's accumulated tax amount with the tax threshold amount. For v2.3.1, this algorithm was enhanced to accumulate not only bill segment calc amounts, but also the adjustment calc amounts prior to comparing the total to the threshold amount; and if required, both bill segments and adjustments are re-generated.

•	C1-SUP-PR-BL - Suppress Printing Bills After Final Bill

•	CI_CN-BRT - Suppress Bill Routings for credit notes

•	CI_CN-RADJ - Reverse Adjustments When Creating Credit Note

•	UNITEDMILES - Add United frequent flier miles

•	DELTAFFMILES - Add Delta frequent flier miles
