Defining a Billing File within CSI Utility Billing and Revenue Management Software.

What is a billing file (BF?)

To group all of the accounts for readings, Capital creates a billing file (BF) each month. Billing File is a generic name assigned to the accounts you are about to read. Each time you CLICK the CREATE BILLING FILE button; the system goes to the service tab and gathers all of the accounts that qualify. The system then puts them into a billing file and adds a number to the end of it like BF100. You can create as many billing files, as you want. The purpose of the billing file is to give you a clean reading entry system and history of all the readings you’ve done in the past. Billing files hold all the services, dates, readings and usage information for a given DUE DATE.
