Managing Your Billing Groups

Billing Groups make it easy for you to organize your billing items into various groups with the purpose of dividing costs amongst these groups. Once your Billing Groups have been configured, your end-of-month invoice will then display your charges listed by billing group.

Assign/Move Billing Items to a Billing Group

There are several ways to assign billing items to a group or to move items around between groups. From within the Billing area, you can either navigate to the Billing Items page or navigate to a Billing Group and reassign items from one group to another. You can also assign Numbers and Users to a group from within their respective pages.

All billing items are initially assigned to the Default Group.

There are some items that cannot be moved out of the Default Group.

  • Account-level Services & Fees: These are services and fees that are not associated with a particular number or user, but rather apply across the entire account.
    • Call Insights, Platform Fee
  • Unassigned Licenses: Licenses are assigned to a group based on user association. A license must be assigned to a user before it can be assigned to a Billing Group.
