Viewing the list of charges

To view the list of charges, go to Charges (see Navigation).

The list of charges includes the following columns:

  • ID — the unique identification number of a charge.
  • Account — the name of an account for which the charge was generated.
  • Description — the detailed information about a charge.
  • Transaction — the ID of a transaction linked to the charge. It is displayed only for the charges in the Closed or Refunded statuses (see Viewing the list of transactions).
  • Status — the charge status (for details, see Charges attributes).

    • New — a charge generated for ordered but not yet paid services or resources. Charges in the New status are considered as Blocked if a subscription has the Updating status or a linked order has the provisioning date in the future.
    • Opened — a charge does not block funds of the account balance and is generated for the future periods of services or resources usage.
    • Blocked — a charge blocks funds of the account balance. It can be generated for services or resources that are provisioned at the moment, or for the future periods of a subscription, depending on the billing type (see Charges for the subscriptions with different billing types).
    • Closed — a charge for services or resources already provisioned, and its amount is withdrawn from the account balance.
    • Deleted — a charge deleted due to changes in the service or resource provisioning, or if an unpaid order is expired and cancelled after the due order period.
    • Waiting for refund (waiting_for_refund — in the API methods) — a charge to be refunded to the account balance.
    • Refunded — a charge refunded to the account balance due to changes in the service or resource provisioning.

  • Order — a link to the related order, or a dash — if a charge is not linked to an order. By default, not displayed.

  • Quantity — the number of resource units or service. By default, not displayed.

  • Duration — the period covered by a charge, or a dash — for subscriptions with the Pay as you go (external) billing type. By default, not displayed.

  • Unit price — the resource unit price or the period price — in the plan currency, or a dash — for subscriptions with the Pay as you go (external) billing type. By default, not displayed.

  • Currency rate — the currency rate applied to a charge to convert its amount from the plan to reseller currency, or a dash — if the currencies match. By default, not displayed.

  • Discount — the discount amount.

    The amounts of orders and charges are rounded off to two decimal places. When a discount is applied, it may lead to a discrepancy between the amount of the order and charges. To avoid this, rounding off and applying a discount to the amounts of an order and charges is performed according to a special algorithm (see Specifics of orders and charges amounts calculation and rounding when a discount is applied). 

  • Taxes — the amount of taxes applied to a charge when it was created (see Managing taxes).
  • Amount — the total amount of a charge with taxes and discount included.
  • Created at — the date and time when a charge is created.
  • Close date — the actual or supposed date when a charge gets the Closed status.

Using API, it is also possible to retrieve the start day of a billing period related to a closed charge and filter the list of charges by this date (check billing_day in section Charges of the API reference guide).
