2.1 Calculate and Create Bill Segments Using Rates

Reference: Manage Billing Disputes Process Model - Page 1 for the associated business process diagram.

Actor/Role: CC&B

Description: CC&B passes the consumption information to rates to calculate the new Bill Segment. The rate components are used to build the Bill Segment calculation lines and referenced on these calculation lines. In addition the original Bill Segment is placed in pending Cancel status. Refer to 4.2.2.2 CC&B Manage Meter Charges.

Available Algorithms

•	BSBS-RT - This Bill Segment creation algorithm creates a Bill Segment using the service agreement's rate. The option would typically be used for metered services and ratable non-metered services.

•	BSBS-RR - Create bill segment using the service agreement's recurring charge amt.

•	BSBS-RB - Bill recurring charge until amt to bill has been billed.

•	BSBS-RA - Bill recurring charge amount until payoff bal = 0.

•	BSBS-BC - Create bill segments using billable charges.

•	BSBS-LO - Create a bill segment for a loan SA.

•	C1-BSBS-UR - Create bill segment using a usage request (CC&B-MDM integration).

•	C1-HIGHBILL - This algorithm type checks for high bill amounts during batch billing.
