13. My total call cost on your service differs from my Telco accounts, why? :

There are several reasons call accounting reports may differ from your Telco accounts.
(also read College > Allocate Costs > Allocate Telco costs for lots of information)

Some of the reasons are as follows:

a. There are telephone calls on your Telco account made on lines that are not connected to your PBX

b. The PBX is not producing call records on every trunk

c. The start and end date and time of the telco account is not the same as the TelcoTwo report you are comparing it with.

d. Carriers reserve the right to carry over calls made in a previous billing period and add them to a current invoice. Look for calls on your Telco invoice that were not made during this billing period.

e. For a technical reason the flow of data between your office and our service has been interrupted and we do not have all the data for the measured period. You can check if this is the case by running a DayTotals report.

Run a Day Totals report under Analysis tab for the period of the telephone account you are comparing.

This report gives the the total spend per day of the month.

Check the following:
Is the average spend per day a reasonable representation of your spend?
For example: Your monthly spend is $21000, this is approximately $1000 per working day.  

Are all working days represented in the report?

Is every day lower/ higher than this? By how much? Is the deviation consistent?

Are there days where the spend is suspiciously lower?
  • was the day a holiday?
  • was the PBX working properly on that day
  • did the PBX technician visit you on that day

f. The call costs we applied are incorrect,
