You can use an external billing system to bill your customers and use PortaBilling to protect them from fraud and overspending by controlling their credit limits. Click the link to open the configuration panel where you can configure the balance reset for postpaid customers billed via that external system.

Regular invoices

Out-of-turn invoices

Use out-of-turn invoices to immediately charge a customer for a service provided and receive payment for that. You can generate an out-of-turn invoice (to cover only a few specific items) on demand. Click the link to open the configuration panel where you can enable and set up invoicing for customers in this customer class.

Rounding precision

Link copied to clipboard

Define how to present invoice amounts to customers. PortaBilling calculates invoice amounts with five-decimal precision (e.g., 16.89306). PortaBilling rounds invoice amounts to the number of digits you specify here.

The difference between the sum of all the charges and the rounded off invoice amount is written as a separate xDR with the proper (plus or minus) sign.

To select the rounding method for invoice amounts, open the Finances > General info > Rounding method. The Away from zero rounding method is selected by default.

For example, if the Away from zero rounding method is selected and you select to round the invoice amounts to 2 decimals then 16.85306 rounds to 16.86.
