๐ Detailed Report Type Reference
๐ Understanding each report type available in VOS3000 report management is essential for operators to leverage the full power of the system. According to the VOS3000 V2.1.9.07 Manual, Section 2.8, the reporting system is organized into three major categories: Bill Reports, Clearing Reports, and Analysis Reports. Each category serves a distinct business purpose and contains multiple report subtypes that provide different views of the same underlying CDR data. Bill Reports focus on revenue from the customer perspective โ what your customers owe you for the calls they made.
Clearing Reports focus on costs from the carrier perspective โ what you owe your termination providers for the calls they carried. Analysis Reports provide traffic pattern insights that help optimize routing and capacity decisions. ๐
๐ฐ Bill Report subtypes explained:
- ๐ Revenue Details Report: The most commonly used report, showing total revenue broken down by account, gateway, and time period. Essential for daily revenue monitoring and monthly financial reporting.
- ๐ก Gateway Bill Report: Shows call charges organized by termination gateway. Use this report to understand how much traffic each carrier is handling and the associated costs.
- ๐ Phone Bill Report: Itemized call charges per phone number or extension. Critical for enterprise customers who need detailed call accounting.
- ๐ Account Area Report: Revenue broken down by destination country or area. Reveals which international destinations generate the most revenue and where pricing adjustments may be needed.
- ๐ณ Account Balance Report: Opening balance, payments, consumption, and closing balance for each account over the report period. The primary tool for account reconciliation and financial auditing.
- ๐ค Agent Income Report: Commission and earnings for each agent/reseller. Essential for paying agent commissions and tracking reseller profitability.
๐ Clearing Reports and Financial Settlement
๐ต Clearing reports in VOS3000 report management are designed for the carrier settlement process. When you terminate calls through multiple carriers, each carrier bills you for the traffic they handled. The clearing reports aggregate CDR data from the carrier perspective, showing exactly how many calls, minutes, and costs are associated with each termination provider. The Clearing Account Detail report provides a line-by-line breakdown of every call terminated through a specific gateway, while the Summary of Financial Settlement report provides a high-level overview suitable for invoice generation. Using these reports for monthly carrier settlement ensures that you only pay for calls that were actually completed and properly billed, protecting against overcharging and billing disputes. ๐
๐ง Report Data Maintenance
โ๏ธ Generated reports consume database storage over time. The VOS3000 Data Maintenance module (Section 2.12.6.6) provides tools for managing Data Report Tables โ cleaning up old report data that is no longer needed for daily operations. Operators should implement a regular report maintenance schedule: export and archive reports older than 6 months to external storage, then use the Data Maintenance function to clean up the database tables. This practice keeps the report generation system responsive and prevents excessive disk usage. The automatic cleanup feature can be configured to handle this process without manual intervention, deleting report data older than a specified number of days while preserving the flexibility to regenerate reports from the underlying CDR data if needed. ๐พ
๐ก Best Practices for VOS3000 Report Management
| Best Practice | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| โฑ๏ธ Schedule After Billing | Set daily reports to run at 2-3 AM after day boundary |
| ๐ Use Descriptive Names | Include date range and type in report name |
| ๐๏ธ Clean Old Reports | Delete reports older than retention policy |
| ๐ฅ Export Regularly | Download monthly reports for external backup |
โ Frequently Asked Questions
โ How many scheduled reports can be created?
๐ VOS3000 report management does not impose a hard limit on the number of scheduled reports. However, operators should be mindful of system resources โ generating too many large reports simultaneously can impact softswitch performance. A practical limit of 20-30 scheduled reports is recommended for most deployments. Spread report generation times to avoid resource contention. ๐
โ Can reports be automatically emailed?
๐ง The VOS3000 client report management stores generated reports for download. For automatic email delivery, this requires integration with the email alarm/notification system or external scripting using the VOS3000 Web API. Operators can build automated workflows that pull reports via API and email them to stakeholders. This provides full flexibility in delivery methods. ๐ค
โ What formats are supported for report export?
๐ฅ VOS3000 report management supports export to Excel (.xls) and CSV (.csv) formats. These formats are compatible with Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and can be imported into most business intelligence and accounting systems. For custom formatting, operators can download the raw data and apply their own templates. ๐
โ How long are generated reports kept?
๐ Generated reports in the VOS3000 report management archive are retained indefinitely unless manually deleted. Operators should implement a cleanup policy to delete reports older than their retention requirement (e.g., 6 months or 1 year) to prevent excessive disk usage. The cleanup can be done manually through the report management interface. ๐๏ธ
โ Can I create custom report templates?
๐ง VOS3000 report management provides predefined report templates based on the report types available in the system (revenue, gateway bill, clearing, etc.). While you cannot create entirely custom SQL queries through the GUI, you can configure filters, date ranges, and grouping options to tailor the standard reports. For fully custom reporting, use the Web API or direct database access. ๐
โ Why did my scheduled report fail to generate?
โ ๏ธ Scheduled report failures can occur due to: (1) Insufficient disk space for report generation, (2) Database connectivity issues during generation window, (3) Report parameters referencing deleted accounts or gateways, (4) System maintenance windows overlapping with schedule. Check the system log for error details and reschedule the report after resolving the issue. ๐ง
๐ Report Scheduling Strategy for Optimal Operations
๐ Designing an effective report scheduling strategy is crucial for getting the most value from VOS3000 report management without overloading the system. A well-designed schedule ensures that daily operational reports are available when the operations team starts their morning shift, weekly summary reports are ready for Monday management reviews, and monthly financial reports are generated after the billing period closes. The key principle is to stagger report generation times to avoid resource contention โ never schedule multiple large reports to generate simultaneously.
For daily reports, set the generation time between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM when call volume is typically lowest and the previous day’s billing data is fully processed. Weekly reports should generate early Monday morning, and monthly reports should generate on the first day of each month after midnight. This systematic approach ensures that reports are always fresh and the system remains responsive during business hours. โฑ๏ธ
๐ Recommended report scheduling template:
| Report | Frequency | Generation Time | Audience |
|---|---|---|---|
| ๐ฐ Revenue Details | Daily | 02:00 AM | Operations, Finance |
| ๐ณ Account Balance | Daily | 03:00 AM | Finance, Accounting |
| ๐ก Gateway Analysis | Weekly | Monday 04:00 AM | Operations, Procurement |
| ๐ต Financial Settlement | Monthly | 1st of month 02:00 AM | Finance, Management |
| ๐ค Agent Income | Monthly | 1st of month 04:00 AM | Sales, Agent Management |
๐ Integrating Reports with External Business Intelligence
๐ Many VOS3000 operators need to integrate report data with external business intelligence (BI) platforms such as Tableau, Power BI, or custom dashboards. While VOS3000 report management generates reports in Excel format, automated integration requires using the Web API to pull raw data programmatically. The Web API provides endpoints for querying billing data, CDR records, and account information that can be scheduled and scripted to feed external BI tools on a regular basis.
This approach gives operators the best of both worlds โ VOS3000’s built-in reports for daily operational use, and custom BI dashboards for advanced analytics and executive-level visibility. When setting up automated data pipelines, operators should implement error handling and retry logic to ensure data continuity, and schedule API calls during off-peak hours to minimize impact on softswitch performance. ๐ง
