Overview

This node interacts with the Billing Booth One API to start a billing run. It allows users to specify billing parameters such as the billing period, issue date, and various optional fields to customize the billing run. This node is useful for automating the process of generating invoices for a specified billing period, either for a customer group or specific customers, with options to exclude certain charges or customers, suppress delivery, and more.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate monthly billing by specifying the first day of the month as the billing period and setting the invoice issue date.
  2. Start a billing run for a specific customer group while excluding certain customers or service charges.
  3. Generate invoices only for customers with charges starting on the issue date, suppressing email delivery and integration actions during the run.
