Introduction

A Billing Run applies every active Billing Rule to your Assets for a Period and creates the resulting Charge Records. Runs can be triggered manually or automatically on the Schedule configured in Billing Settings.

Triggering a Run

• Override Period Date
  • Run for a different Period than the current one, for example to catch up a missed Run.

• Debug Logging
  • Write a detailed Log Entry for every Asset the Run evaluates, not only Skips and Errors.

• Is Dry Run
  • Evaluate the Run and show a Preview without creating any real Charge Records.

Run Fields

• Trigger Type / Triggered By / Triggered At
  • How and by whom the Run was started, and when.

• Status
  • The current state of the Run.

• Completed At / Total Duration
  • When the Run finished and how long it took.

• Skip Rate %
  • The percentage of Assets that were skipped during this Run.

• Alert Level / Alert Summary
  • Set when the Skip Rate or Duration crosses one of your configured Billing Settings thresholds.

Run Log

Every Billing Run writes a sequential Log: one Entry per evaluated Rule/Asset combination, with a Level, an Event Code, a Category, an optional Skip Reason and a free text Message. Use the Correlation Id to follow one specific Run end to end.

Dry Runs write the same Log and Preview Items as a real Run, but create no Charge Records.
