BILLING CODE

BILLING CODE

A billing code, which is added to a recorded job log when a printing or sending job has been executed, is used to perform billing processing.
Billing codes are classified into two types: main code and sub code. A billing code is recorded in the job log when it is entered and a print or send job is executed.
Summing up the amounts by Billing Code based on the job logs will facilitate the subsequent operations, for instance, when making combined billings.

Types of billing codes

Type Description

Main Code

Used to categorize the results of the executed print and send jobs to enable efficient management. For example, you can assign a code by customer and collect cost information by customer from job logs.

Code example: Issue of company A

Sub Code

Available when the main code alone is not sufficient to enable management of billing codes. For example, you can assign monthly cost information to a sub code and collect the total monthly cost information of all customers when the customer name is assigned to the main code.

Code example: Issue of October, 2022

Default Code

Automatically assigned when the main code or sub code has not been specified.
