    Pagination is used to display limited number of records in the Search Results section. You can change the number of records displayed per page, if required. You can use the navigation buttons, such as First (The First Page Button), Previous (The Previous Page Button), Next (The Next Page Button), and Last (The Last Page Button) to navigate between pages. You can also select the page to which you want to navigate from the Go To list.

  3. Click Search.
  4. View the bills generated for the usage data file in the View Bill Data screen.
  5. If required, you can change the number of records displayed per page.
    Note: By default, the number of records that appear in each page depends on the minimum value defined in the PAGE_​NUMBER lookup field. For example, if the PAGE_​NUMBER lookup field has four values - 10, 20, 30, and 40, then the number of records displayed in each page, by default, would be 10.
  6. If required, you can click the First (The First Page Button), Previous (The Previous Page Button), Next (The Next Page Button), and Last (The Last Page Button) buttons to navigate between pages.
  7. If required, you can freeze and complete adhoc bills which are generated for the usage data file.
    Note:

    The Freeze/Complete button is not available in the View Bill Data screen when:

    • All bills generated for a usage data file are in the Complete status

    • Multiple bills are generated for a usage data file and one or more bill segments of each bill are in the Error status

    In other words, the Freeze/Complete button is available in the View Bill Data screen when there is at least one pending bill for a usage data file where none of the bill segments are in the Error status.
