Previous Billing Report
You can run a Previous Billing Report when a copy of the Billing Report from the previous billing
period is desired, or to determine proper billing when a gather has failed. This report is identical
to the Billing Report, except that it uses the data from the previous billing data file. The server
gives you the option of running this report from either the hard disk or the backup diskette.
Termination Report
You can run a Termination Report (see sample in Figure 12-25) when a mailbox is checked out
and deleted, or when paging service is discontinued in the middle of a billing cycle. The
Termination Report shows charges for each mailbox individually by statistic, then gives a total, in
the same format as the Billing Report.
A typical use of the Termination Report is in the hotel or motel environment. The report can be
run either before or after the mailbox is checked out, but the results can be different:
• If you run the Termination Report before the mailbox is checked out, and there are unplayed
messages, the server does not charge for disk usage for these messages, since this
resource is calculated when messages are deleted.
• If you run the Termination Report after the mailbox is checked out, the server charges for all
messages, since all messages must be deleted in order to check out the mailbox. To zero the
billing counters, you must delete, then recreate, the mailbox.

The Termination Report can be done only for one mailbox at a time.
The Termination Report uses the same billing rates as the Billing Report, but the server allows
you to enter a new base rate, in order to prorate charges over the length of time that the mailbox
was in use. For example, if the base rate is $10.00 per month and the mailbox was in use for 15
days, you can change the base rate to $5.00.
The Termination Report gathers data from the mailbox, but it does not create a previous billing
data file, nor does it update the billing counters. Thus, you can use this report to simply
interrogate the status of a mailbox. To zero the billing counters, delete the mailbox, then create it
again.
