SATbill Implementation

Testing And Handover

Once all the data-loading has been completed and all the call plans and agreements have been created we will then attempt a draft billing run for you. Before we do this, we load in 2-months’ worth of CDR files and deal with any mediation errors that occur. Once all mediation errors have been cleared, the draft billing can be run. This will produce draft invoices for each customer, vessel, agreement or item. These draft invoices will be compared with the actual invoices as issued that month and any discrepancy investigated and the data corrected as necessary. The draft billing run can be triggered as many times as necessary in order to achieve the correct comparison with the old billing system. Once you are satisfied that the draft invoices are correct, then the final billing run will be initiated and the final documents created. Again, these can be compared with the documents produced for the same month from your old billing system. We will then load in the previous month’s CDR files and repeat the process.

When all the testing has been done and the user acceptance criteria has been met, then the handover will be complete, and your annual support and maintenance period will start.
