Unless the company is starting
completely new, an important part of any billing system implementation is the importation of data from an existing billing system.
CentreBill includes a wizard-driven import process for the data and includes the
following major elements:
- Company Details
– the service provider's own details
- Contact Details
- details of the service provider's customers
- Additional Contacts
– details of additional contacts associated with each of the customers
- Services
– details of each of the services associated with each customer
- Invoices
– list of invoices which have non-zero balances and still need to be paid, together with additional zero balance invoices for history
- Receipts
– list of receipts associated with the payment of zero-balance or part paid invoices in the invoice import list
- General Ledger
– list of chart of accounts associated between CentreBill and the service provider's accounting system
The successful importation of existing billing information is critical to the success of any billing system project. Together with a very clearly defined database schema, CentreBill is structured to enable a smooth
transition from one system to another as part of an implementation project.
