Billing Activity Reporting Engine Console

The IBM® Sterling Warehouse Management System stores all the billable activities that are performed at the warehouse. The Billing Activity Reporting Engine records billing activities as they are performed within the fulfillment process. These are recorded at the warehouse level and uploaded to IBM Sterling Warehouse Management System.

You can use the Billing Activity Reporting Engine Console to add, update, or remove billing activities and billing activity codes. The Billing Activity Reporting Engine Console also provides an audit trail for the changes.

This chapter explains how to create, view, modify, and delete billing activity codes, create, view, modify, and cancel billing activities, and view billing activity audits using the Billing Activity Reporting Engine Console.

The activity status of the Billing Activity Reporting Engine exhibits different modes of transition.

When the Billing Activity Reporting Engine activity creates an activity, the status of the Billing Activity Reporting Engine is shown as 'Created'. When you manually modify any attribute in the Billing Activity Reporting Engine activity, then the status changes to 'Modified'. If there is any error during the upload, the status of the Billing Activity Reporting Engine activity is changed to 'Error'. You can manually cancel a record from the Billing Activity Reporting Engine activity, then the status of the activity is changed to 'cancelled'. When an activity is uploaded to the host system, the status of the Billing Activity Reporting Engine activity is changed to 'Uploaded'.
