Mitel NuPoint Messenger Technical Documentation - Release 7.0
as many times as you wish during a single billing cycle, as long as you do not request another
gather. You can even run the report, change billing rates, then rerun the report if you wish.
The Billing Report first shows charges for each mailbox individually by GCOS, then reports the
charge for the FCOS assigned to the mailbox, then lists the charges for each statistic that applies
to the mailbox. Next, the Billing Report lists charges for each statistic that applies to a port (line)
group, such as user connect time and caller connect time. When charges have been reported for
all mailboxes, the server gives a Billing Report summary, then returns to the Billing menu. See
the sample in Figure 12-22. Statistics for which the dollar amount is zero are not reported.
Charges are based on the rates that are in effect at the time the report is generated. No mailbox
data is changed by adjusting rates or generating the report, as long as a new gather is not
performed. If you find any errors in rates after the report is run, adjust the rates; then run the
report again (omitting the gather).
Note: If you are counting the fields in the Blocked Billing Report, please be aware that the department
code field may be blank. If there is no department code for a mailbox there will be a blank space
(not a zero). All other fields will be represented by a zero. There are 102 possible fields in the
Blocked Billing Report.
When charges have been reported for all mailboxes, the server concludes this report with a
Billing Report Summary. Statistics are not reported if the dollar amount is zero.

Billing Report of a Greeting-Only Mailbox
Greeting-Only mailboxes (also called information-only mailboxes) have an FCOS that does not
allow them to receive messages. Statistics that can be incremented for Greeting-Only mailboxes
are the user connect time (that is, the amount of time that the user is logged in) and the caller
connect time (the accumulated time that callers have used to listen to the greeting). A base rate
can also be set. See Figure 12-23 for a Sample Billing Report, Greeting-Only Mailbox.

Mailbox Blocked Report
The Mailbox Blocked Report (Blocked Billing Report) (see sample in Figure 12-24) is in a special
format that can be sent to other databases. It presents the same information as the Billing
Report, but in blocked form; that is, with no titles or summaries. Use this report if you want to
organize the billing data into your own format, such as for an invoice or monthly statement.
Note: If you are counting the fields in the Blocked Billing Report, please be aware that the department
code field is blank (not a zero) if there is no department code for a mailbox. All other fields are
represented by a zero. There are 102 possible fields in the Blocked Billing Report.
