Viewing Bills for a Billing Profile

In a billing profile, end users can view additional details for bills. They can view billed service details such as item charges (for example, cycle forward charges and usage charges), events (for example, phone call details), and noncurrency balance totals for events (for example, the balance of unused phone minutes). They can also view payments and adjustment request items for bills. Adjustment request items consist of adjustments, settlements, refunds, and write-off amounts.
