Billing Operations with BlueRockTEL

By BlueRockTEL Team

Two Billing Modes

BlueRockTEL's Events menu allows you to run billing operations. Two modes are available, each with a distinct purpose.

Pre-Production

Pre-production lets you simulate the next billing campaign without generating or sending real invoices. The operation runs on a copy of your database.

By default, it corresponds to the current month's batch, or the next chronological batch if you use multi-batch billing.

What You Can Verify

For each simulated invoice, pre-production displays:

  • Invoice number, customer record and billed sites
  • Customer account and company name
  • Gross and net totals
  • Payment method
  • Charge breakdown: one-time fees, recurring subscriptions, consumption and prorated amounts

You can view individual invoice PDFs and consumption statements.

Correct Before Launching

If anomalies are detected, you correct the affected customer records and run another pre-production. This cycle can be repeated as many times as needed until everything is validated.

It is also possible to simulate billing for the following month, which allows you to anticipate and correct any configuration errors before the first of the month.

An email notification confirms when the operation is complete.

Production

Once all data has been verified and validated in pre-production, you launch production. This operation:

  • Generates the final PDF invoices
  • Sends them by email to customers
  • Initiates SEPA direct debits for active mandates

Production runs only once per cycle, after pre-production validation. This is the guarantee of reliable, predictable billing.
