Upcoming January 2024 billing reports changes
Please note that a new billing system is being implemented. It will be used for the issuance of the billing reports for the month of January 2024. In that respect, please take note of the following impacts:
The reports will have a new naming convention, per below:
| Document | Naming convention - current | Naming convention - new for 2024 |
| Invoice | XXXXXX(invoice number)_XXXXXX(client number) | MXINVXXXXXXXXXXXXXX(invoice number starting with MXINV followed by up to 14 alphanumeric characters) YYYY-MM-DD(date invoice was generated).pdf |
| MX Reconciliation Report User Guide | MX Reconciliation file User Guide 2.1.pdf | MX Reconciliation Report User Guide 3.0.pdf |
| Reconciliation report - details | XXXXXX(client number)_YYYYYMM_Reconciliation_file.csv | MX_XXXXXX(client number)_YYYYMM(year and month of invoiced transactions)_ReconciliationReportDetails.csv |
| Reconciliation report - summary (new in 2024) | MX_XXXXXX_YYYYMM_ReconciliationReportSummary.csv | |
| Fees summary by client and product | XXXXXX_YYYYMM_Invoice_details_fees.pdf | MX_XXXXXX_YYYYMM_Invoice_details_fees.pdf |
The Reconciliation report will be enriched with new fields. Changes are documented in "MX Reconciliation Report User Guide_January 2024 update" available in SFTP Billing servers. January reconciliation report will also be available in the former (existing) format, on demand.
A summary version of the reconciliation report "ReconciliationReportSummary" is added in 2024. Compared to the detailed version "ReconciliationReportDetails", the summary report contains a limited number of columns and the data is aggregated, therefore the file size is much smaller, enabling easy reading using an Excel or Google sheet type of tabulator.
