Review a Bill Batch

You review and approve bill batches in the Bill Review (SP) application. Bill batches that you work with in this application have a status of PREBILL, that is, they are not yet billed by the service provider.

Review bill batches by the date in the Required Review Date field. If you do not, the review bill status is changed to REVIEWED and all lines with a WAPPR status are changed to APPR.

All bill batch lines except those that you dispute are included in the pre-tax total of the bill batch.

Note: You can view bills that are REVIEWED or BILLED but you cannot modify them.

To review a bill batch:

  1. In the Bill Review (SP) application, on the List tab, select one of your displayed bills in PREBILL status. The tab lists bills for customers at or below the top level in your customer hierarchy.

  2. In the selected review bill, click View Details next to each line that you want to review. Line details include the source of the billed price and price quote information.

  3. View price details for included transactions in the Price Details section.

  4. Change the status of the batch lines and the review bill as required. Select the appropriate option:

  5. Change the status of all WAPPR lines to APPROVED with the Advance all WAPPR lines to APPR action. After you change the line statuses, you can change the status of the review bill.

  6. Change that status of individual lines. On each line, click Change Status to open the Change Status dialog box. Typically, you select the APPROVED (approved) status. You also can select DISPUTE (dispute) or WAPPR (waiting for approval). Disputed lines are sent back to your service provider for further review. If you dispute a batch line, you enter supporting remarks in the Memo field of the dialog box. After you change the line statuses, you can change the status of the review bill.
