Update pricing and billing
Abiquo 6.1 creates a pricing history. By default, when an administrator changes prices, Abiquo will apply the new price to the next month.
To apply new prices to the current month:
Go to Pricing and edit the pricing model
Go to Regenerate billing and click the Regenerate billing button
This will update pricing and regenerate billing for this month. This deletes the current billing period for enterprises using this pricing model, including current cost calculations (billregisters of cost usage, and estimated bill). Then it creates the billing period again, with the current pricing model and it also runs on-premise billing for the current month for the affected enterprises.
When you regenerate billing data for previous months, Abiquo on-premise billing will use the historical pricing data.
Automatic billing generation
Users may need to wait 24 hours to display billing data and it may take longer for Abiquo to display billing estimates.
Abiquo will automatically process usage data and create billing for enterprises with a pricing model overnight each day (generating the Estimated bill data), and at the end of the month, it consolidates the bills.
Manually generate billing
In addition to the automatic daily billing process, you can manually generate billing in the UI.
Privileges: Generate billing
To manually generate billing
Go to Users and edit the enterprise
Go to Billing and select the provider. For private cloud, this is On premise
Click Generate billing
Enter the correct dates to generate billing because it is possible to generate billing for a past month with no usage, which will create a standing charge and a minimum charge.If your enterprise is a reseller, you can also select the enterprises from your hierarchy to generate billing for.
