Unreconciled Billing Reports

The Unreconciled Billing Reports page shows reverse-billing usage captured and processed by PMT before the formal MNO month-end reconciliation is complete. Use it to monitor usage, validate service activity, and investigate possible differences early. Do not use it as the final invoiced position.

Formal disclaimer and what it means

Formal disclaimer shown in the portal

The information contained in this report is derived from reverse-billing traffic captured and processed through PMT’s internal data pipeline. The values presented represent PMT’s indicative view of usage and associated cost for monitoring purposes. As final billing is determined based on the official reports and reconciliation processes of the applicable Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), the figures contained in this report are preliminary and may vary from the final invoiced amounts. The values should therefore be regarded as indicative only until the formal month-end reconciliation with the operator reports has been completed.

The values are suitable for operational monitoring and investigation. They can change when late traffic is processed, rates or records are corrected, duplicates are resolved, or official operator data is reconciled. A difference from the final report is not automatically a fault.

Request a report

  1. Open Reports → Unreconciled Billing Reports.
  2. Select an Entity, or leave All Entities when that option is available and appropriate.
  3. Select a Service, or leave the service filter unselected for the permitted overall view.
  4. Choose the start and end dates. The portal limits the range to 31 days.
  5. Select Request Report.
  6. Wait for the cards, table, and chart to finish loading before interpreting or exporting them.

The initial dates normally cover the current month to date. Your account's permissions determine which entities and services can be selected.

Total Usage per Mobile Operator

Each operator card shows Applied Usage from PMT's internal pipeline for the selected scope. This is the clearest high-level operational total, but it has not yet been reconciled to the operator report.

Service Usage per Mobile Operator

This table compares service usage across operators and includes row and column totals. Use it to identify whether a difference is isolated to one service, one operator, or the overall period.

Daily Usage by Service

The stacked chart shows how usage is distributed by service on each date. Hover over a segment for its value. Spikes, gaps, and sudden changes can help narrow an investigation to a particular day and service.

Endpoint usage

The endpoint table shows Service Name, Path, Data Size MB, and % of Total Usage. Use it to determine which routes contributed most to the selected service's usage. A high percentage is not necessarily an error; compare it with expected traffic for that endpoint.

Export to CSV

Set the filters and request the report before selecting Export to CSV. The CSV can provide more analysis detail than the summary visible on screen, including:

  • daily usage with byte, MB, and GB values;
  • endpoint invocation and usage values, average KB per invocation, and percentage of total;
  • total usage per mobile operator; and
  • service usage split by mobile operator.

Record the entity, service, and exact dates with the downloaded file. Changing any of these makes it a different report scope.

Investigate unexpected usage

  1. Confirm that the entity, service, and date range are correct.
  2. Use the operator table to identify which MNO contributes to the difference.
  3. Use the daily chart to identify the affected date.
  4. Use the endpoint table or CSV to identify the service path driving the usage.
  5. Check the equivalent period in Usage Reports if additional usage detail is needed.
  6. After month end, confirm that the correct operator file was processed from Management → MNO Recon Upload.
  7. Compare the complete month with the Reconciled Billing Report and retain both exports when escalating a difference.

Note

For a meaningful comparison with a monthly reconciled report, use the full calendar month and the same accessible entities. The two pages otherwise represent different scopes.
