Prerequisites

To setup the on demand billing process, you need to do the following:

• Ensure approver's user group has access to the F1-DFLTS application service

• Create a To Do Type for submitter named C1-ODBSU using the following information:

  • Navigation Option - C1_​SUBMIT

  • Priority - Priority 10 - Highest

  • Message Category - 17000

  • Message Number - 1470

  • Sort Keys - Define the following sort keys for the To Do type:

    Sort Key	Use as Default	Sort Order
    Usage Data ID	Yes	Descending

  • Drill Keys - Define the following drill keys for the To Do type:

    Table Name	Field Name
    CI_​BCHG_​STG	BCHG_​HSTG_​ID
    CI_​BCHG_​STG	FILE_​NAME
    CI_​BCHG_​STG	BCHG_​STG_​STAT_​FLG

• Create a To Do Type for approver named C1-ODBAP using the following information:

  • Navigation Option - CI_​NDAP

  • Priority - Priority 10 - Highest

  • Message Category - 17000

  • Message Number - 1470

  • Sort Keys - Define the following sort keys for the To Do type:

    Sort Key	Use as Default	Sort Order
    Usage Data ID	Yes	Descending

  • Drill Keys - Define the following drill keys for the To Do type:

    Table Name	Field Name
    CI_​BCHG_​STG	BCHG_​HSTG_​ID
    CI_​BCHG_​STG	FILE_​NAME

• Create a To Do role named C1-ODBSU for submitter and C1-ODBAP for approver

• Assign the C1-ODBSU To Do type to the C1-ODBSU To Do role

• Assign the C1-ODBAP To Do type to the C1-ODBAP To Do role

• Create a To Do role named C1-ODFU and assign users to this To Do role. The users who have the C1-ODFU To Do role will receive the To Do entries generated while executing the Upload and Validate Usage Data File (C1-ODFU) batch.

• Assign the C1-ODFU To Do type to the C1-ODFU To Do role

• Create a To Do role named C1-ODBCH and assign users to this To Do role. The users who have the C1-ODBCH To Do role will receive the To Do entries generated while executing the Billable Charge Creation (C1-ODBCH) batch.

• Assign the C1-ODBCH To Do type to the C1-ODBCH To Do role

• Create a To Do role named C1-FABL and assign users to this To Do role. The users who have the C1-FABL To Do role will receive the To Do entries generated while executing the Adhoc Billing (C1-FABL) batch.

• Assign the C1-FABL To Do type to the C1-FABL To Do role

• Create a To Do role named C1-FCADH and assign users to this To Do role. The users who have the C1-FCADH To Do role will receive the To Do entries generated while executing the Freeze and Complete Adhoc Bills (C1-FCADH) batch.

• Assign the C1-FCADH To Do type to the C1-FCADH To Do role

• Set e-mail address for the users who are going to use the On Demand Billing screen (otherwise To Do entry will not be generated on executing the above batches)

• Create a mapping algorithm using the C1-CSVPMALGO algorithm type

• Create a validation algorithm using the C1-VLDALGO algorithm type

• Create an extract algorithm using the C1-EXTALGO algorithm type

• Create a To Do algorithm using the C1_​ODBTDALGO algorithm type and set the following parameters in the algorithm:

  • To Do Role for Submitter - Used to indicate that users with the specified To Do role can only resolve the records which are rejected by the approver.

  • To Do Type for Submitter - Used to indicate that a To Do entry of the specified To Do type must be created when the approver rejects the records.

  • To Do Role for Approver - Used to indicate that users with the specified To Do role can only approve the records submitted by the submitter.

  • To Do Type for Approver - Used to indicate that a To Do entry of the specified To Do type must be created when the submitter submits the valid records for approval.

• Define the required file types in the system

• Define values for the following lookup fields:

  • ODB_​CAN_​RSN_​FLG

  • ODB_​REJ_​RSN_​FLG

  • PAGE_​NUMBER

• If you want to create billable charges with future date for a contract, then ensure that the Use Calendar Billing option is set to Allow Advanced Billing in the respective contract type.

• Create an algorithm using the C1-ODBFILEIN algorithm type and attach it to the Upload File Information system event in the Algorithms tab of the Installation Options - Framework screen.

Besides this, you need to setup the following feature configurations:

• On Demand Billing (C1-ODBFC)

• Multi Parameter Based Pricing (C1_​PPARM_​FLG)
