Telstra Bill Reporting

The Telstra Billing Report (TBR) functionality facilitates parsing of monthly billing files produced in accordance with Telstra On Line Billing Service technical specfications, producing detailed and summary billing reports in PDF format. This functionality was originally developed for Windows using GTK libraries, but the business logic has now been encapsulated in the tbr gem. This sub-project of POPS wraps the tbr gem functionality in a rails UI.

There are three main functional areas:

• Creation and storage of reports - uses the tbr gem to parse the files and create PDF reports
• Search and display reports - allows browser access to previously created reports
• Maintain service information - maintains a database of information about the telephone services

Access restrictions are documented in the TBR Authorisation story.
