Detached billing is an available method which allows the POISE Registration System to automatically signal the STATEMENT program when changes occur in student schedules. This facility also permits qualified Registration System users to initiate bill generation for students whose schedules change. This capability is controlled by the billing office, which maintains responsibility for the program.
 

To START a detached process:

Log in to SBR account which has "detach" privilege.

Main Menu: select BILL.

Bill Menu: select DETACH and enter responses to the prompts, as appropriate.  Example:

 Student Billing System startup procedure      7-DEC-2000 15:00

Notice which defaults are set.  If you want to change one, enter the Sub-option at the prompt:

$ sho system/process=stat*

Pid Process Name State Pri I/O CPU Page flts Pages
00000A30 STAT82 HIB 6 23754 0 00:00:01.38 4408 566
0000294C STAT02 HIB 6 23076 0 00:00:00.81 4024 414

To review the setup configuration for a particular detached process:

$ type users1:[sbr_floy]stat02.cmd

$ SET NOON
$ @SBRSYS_FILES:[SBR_FLOY]LOGIN.COM
$ ASSIGN "LTA10:TRUE" BILL$DET_STATE_SPL
$ RUN/NODEBUG BILL:STATEMENT

$ CLOSE ERRFIL
$ DEASSIGN BILL$DET_STATE_SPL

$ dir users1:[sbr_*]stat82.log

Directory USERS1:[SBR_FLOY]
STAT82.LOG;6

To STOP all detached processes and if necessary, RESTART:

$@BILL:DETACH_CONTROL.COM  (from an SBR account with "Detach" privilege)

To STOP a single detached process:

Bill Menu: select INTERACTIVE

Accept the next 3 defaults.

Enter the term to bill as YYTT <003S>?
Output Device (or Output File Name) <TT:>?
Print bills to attached printer <NO>?

Student Billing Statement Menu: select END

*** STATEMENT V4.5-6   END ***
Sure shutdown a billing program <NO>? Y
Really sure to stop a billing program <NO>? Y
What STATEMENT program number (0 to 99)? 1

Notes:

• Special "detach" numbers are required for CampusConnect.  Use:

81 for Smr I
82 for Fall
83 for Spring
84 for Smr II

A detached process must be running and be coded in the 81 - 84 range before students can see "Account Balance" on CampusConnect.

When setting up CampusConnect detached statement, never use the "no change" option.  If you do, the student can see their statement only if a change has occurred since their last viewing.

CampusConnect always functions in estimated mode.    The student always sees  estimated charges and credits. 

When enrollment is performed online through CampusConnect, statements are not automatically generated.  Statements must be generated manually by an SBR user for these students.

• Qualified Registration System users will see a prompt “Which statement?” upon login.  The user must enter the appropriate detached statement number(s) if automatic statements are to be generated.  For example, if detached 1 and 2 are running (for summer and fall terms), their response might be “1,2."  (If an 81-84 number is also running, the REG user can ignore these numbers.)
  
  Therefore, to assist REG users in identifying which number to use, please use:

  1, 11, 21, 31, etc for Smr I terms (2nd character is "1");
  2, 12, 22, 32, etc. for Fall terms (2nd character is "2");
  3, 13, 23, 33, etc, for Spring terms; and
  4, 14, 24, 34, etc, for Smr II terms.

• Statements can be written to a text file or to a device.  If written to a text file, you must END the process before you can view or print actual statements from that file.  If written to a device, statements print immediately when enrollment is completed by Registrar.  To send statements directly to device, enter colon after device name, e.g., LTA10:  (see above)
   

• Any statement running for an S term will automatically pick up associated T courses.  This means that a detached statement set up for 032S will include 4T and 5T terms.
