Calculating

Calculate Window


The Billing Browser will not display transaction charges until they have been calculated. You can calculate the transactions as often as you like, to view the latest charges accrued to cost centers.

To display the calculation window, click on the Calculate button on the menu bar of the Billing Browser window.

Calculation Status


The amount of time required for ToolWatch Enterprise to calculate the cost center charges will depend on the number of cost centers you are submitting, and the number of transactions to be calculated. Most requests are calculated in a few minutes.

You can close the calculation window and return at a later time to view the status of the calcultion requests, or you can click on the Refresh button at the bottom of the window to update the status.

Completed - But no transactions in the period

The calculation completed successfully, but no billing entries were generated because there was no billable activity in the specified period.  Examples of billable activity are transfers, retirement, etc.

Completed - But Cut-Off date conflict
The calculation completed successfully, but no billing entries were generated because a calculation cannot be conducted prior to the Cut-Off Date of the last posted calculation for a given Cost Center. You can review the posted billing reports to determine the previous posting dates. To proceed, you can calculate for a different Cut-Off Date (after your last posted date) or contact our support team to request a billing roll back for a set of posted records.
