Understanding Billing Control Information
Billing control information prevents you from billing a tenant multiple times for the same period. You can use the Billing Control Information program (P150111) to review the information that is stored in the Billings Generation Control table (F15011B) for a specific lease. The billing information for a lease includes:
Generation type
Billing control ID
Status of each billing period
You use the P150111 program to review transactions for these generation types:
1: Recurring Billing
2: Expense Participation
3: Sales Overage
4: Escalation
6: Estimated Expense Participation
When the system generates billing records, it assigns to them a billing control ID. The system uses this number and the billing status to track the periods for which billings have been generated.
Review the four billing status values:
Blank: No billing activity exists.
G: The billing record (F1511B) has been generated.
B: The billing record has been billed (generation types 2 and 6 only).
X: The billing record has been generated and posted.
If necessary, you can remove the billing control status after you delete unposted billing or calculation batches and want to rerun billing generation programs.
