Billing

MIC->AR output Micro does not post Billing information to SoftLab, only to SoftAR No more micparam controls…SoftMic just sends everything all the time. Billing information posted to AR for “No Charge ” item – billingFactor = 0

What has changed for Micro MIC_post_stat is going away MIC_bill_wait is changed – default value is N. Micro does not post Billing Test to Lab when MIC_bill_wait is set to “N” Micro Posts Billing test information to AR only, thru ESB when MIC_bill_wait is set to “N” We still provide ability to use old billing functionality just in case, in future old billing functionality will be dropped To use old billing remove N from MIC_bill_wait. System controls “No Charge” functionality by security option – 2116 “No Charge for media/panel” Clients must have SoftAR.
