Re: Usage Page
You can select whatever date range you want at the top so it's for any billing cycle.
Right now the goal is for you guys being able to produce reports about the usage and your costs, but it's not really designed to produce something for your end users so it doesn't have anything about billing cycles, etc. Later we will add some account management tools for you to use to generate things for customers. It's kind of like back in the day when cPanel was released, it literally only had create, remove, etc with no stats or account management and it evolved over time.
It just gets very complex if we start determining billing cycles (since everyone will want to do something different for their clients, end user pricing, and the end user billing functionality). This could add months to development whereas focusing just on our billing first makes the most sense since it's consistent and we set the cycles/policies/amounts vs the resellers all having different approaches to how they want to bill.
We're focusing on the basic core stuff (adding/removing/limts/basic account management tools) for the soft launch (in a few weeks) and then will add more detailed things over the next few months. This way we can launch in phases and continue to add functionality as time goes on vs spreading the development out over such a long period before launching anything like we did when launching VOIPo initially.
Over time, we plan to have some more tools which will let you take the wholesale pricing and put in your pricing beside it and it'll generate reports and bills based on your input.
Like for international calls, right now we only show what you're being charged for. Eventually we want to add something that will let you set the intl rates or put in a % markup for automatically setting them and then it'll generate the charges you're going to bill your customer in addition to the charges we're billing you. Collecting all the additional information (what you want to charge, etc) will take some time to put together.
