A typical provisioning process starts with a new order.  The order then triggers a sequence of steps, and ultimately ends with an activated service.

Telecom Revenue ManagementTimelyBill's Dunning and Collections Modules
In most cases, customers will pay their bills before the specified due date. However, there may be customers who do not pay their bills. In this case, service providers must take some action to rectify the situation and collect the outstanding balance owed.

The collections process tracks past due account receivables, sends notifications to the customer, and triggers actions in the absence of payments after a specific due date.
Dunning management is the process of communicating with customers to ensure the collection of subscription-related fees via letters or emails.

TimelyBill supports dunning at the account level whereby all overdue amounts for an account, across several invoices, can be handled by a single dunning action.

With just a little configuration, organizations can: Trigger email reminders to customersCreate letters for printingPerform automatic provisioning (i.e., suspend services)Chan…
