CAIRS OSS Accounting Management

Accounting Management Module

Asset management is accomplished through the Configuration and Accounting modules of the CAIRS OSS Platform. The configuration module manages; work orders, inventory, (on-shelf & installed), switch inventory, cable/circuit records, and CLIN'S. The Accounting modules manages; customer accounts, service & call charges, billing totals, and accounts receivable/payable. The Accounting Management system has two module components:

- Billing for Services/Call Records (Ucall)
- Accounts Receivable/Payable

The Ucall Call Accounting & Billing Management Module collects detailed subscriber billing data (usage, services, one-time, rental, work force/man hours, and reoccurring charges). The Billing module manages multiple accounting code options for distributing resources among network subscribers.

Accounting Code options include:    - PIN    - Billing Account Codes (BAC)    - Telephone Control Officer (TCO)    - Organization Account Codes    - Centralized Account Codes

The Accounts Payable/Receivable Module manages vendor payments and subscriber reimbursements. Each fiscal year, subscribers establish funds for future services. As subscribers order services, vendor charges are accumulated. When the base receives the vendor bill, the Accounts Receivable interface collects reimbursable funds from subscribers. The Accounts Payable/Receivable Module manages the transfer of funds from subscribers to payment organizations. The system creates the Line of Accounting (LOA) for General Ledger/Accounting Systems for fund transfer from subscribers to the paying organization (i.e. Resource Management).
