Last updated on SEPTEMBER 02, 2024

Symptoms

On : 7.5.0.18.0 version, Core Billing

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
You have seen that MSISDN whose billing is due are generating final bill, but it is generating the same when usage went to ECE for rating instead of “partial” billing.
AutoTriggeringLimit is set to 2 in bus_params_billing.xml and config_billing_delay is configured as 0 in cm/pin.conf

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
Since config_billing_delay 0 and auto triggering billing unit 2 , final bill should not be generated until user explicitly run the pin_bill_accts and prior current account cycle due is 2 days less.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Set “- fm_bill config_billing_delay 0” in cm/pin.conf and also in pin_billd/pin.conf
2. Restarted the cm.
3. March 4th: Created account
4. Passed the usage for 4th March and able to see the usage amount in CustomerCenter [CC]
5. Moved the pvt to March 10th and passed the usage for 9th March and able to see the usage amount in CC. All is fine till this point.
6. Moved the pvt to April 10th and passed the usage for 9th April. Final bill got created instead of “partial” billing. In cm.pinlog here the input and output flist.
