Internal Billing Carrier Class

Internal Billing Carrier Class (IBCC) is used by the Internal Billing Feeder File Validation and Load process to determine how many detailed billing lines need to be created on the Internal Billing Detail page and populate the correct object, sub object, and amounts values. This function applies only to internal customers. There are a few optional pairs of object and sub object combinations that can record costs uniquely for budgeting or reporting purposes. When used, they replace the buyer (intended) values from the detail file, or they are the only ones used because object information was left blank in the file.

Most fields are optional on this page, but in many circumstances, they should be populated. As data is static for many records, it could be the responsibility of those initially setting up records. Configurable validations are a means to enforce data entry when applicable.

If any of the features on this page can be used for a type of bill that requires them that has nothing to do with postage, mail, or delivery; the feature works with that type of file if Carrier and Class Number are specified. The critical part is that the total amount due before any percentage additive, additional cost, or flat fee are applied, the initial amount charged to the customer must be put in the Postage field and not Charge Amount.

A Carrier and Class Report are generated with consolidated elements and amounts specific to each carrier and class combination.
