Workflow

工作流程

  1. Confirm the billing period and customer identifiers match across usage, contract, and invoice data.
  2. Aggregate usage by billable meter and compare it with the invoice.
  3. Apply pricing rules in this order: included usage, credits, tiering, minimums, overages, discounts, and taxes if provided.
  4. Flag usage anomalies: sudden spikes, negative usage, duplicate records, missing days, unknown meters, and units that do not match the contract.
  5. Classify variances by customer impact and materiality.
  1. 确认计费周期和客户标识在使用量数据、合同及账单数据中保持一致。
  2. 按可计费计量器汇总使用量,并与账单进行对比。
  3. 按以下顺序应用定价规则:包含使用量、抵扣额度、阶梯定价、最低承诺量、超额使用、折扣,若有提供则加上税费。
  4. 标记使用量异常:突增、负使用量、重复记录、缺失天数、未知计量器及与合同不符的单位。
  5. 根据对客户的影响程度和重要性对差异进行分类。
