• Key Concepts: 
  Billing category is a feature of the IS-T SAP for Telecommunications component that allows users to group their billing documents into categories. This helps to organize and manage billing documents more efficiently. The categories can be based on customer type, product type, or any other criteria that the user chooses.

  To use the billing category feature, users must first create a category in the system. This can be done by going to the “Billing Category” tab in the IS-T SAP for Telecommunications component. From there, users can enter a name for the category and select the criteria that will be used to group documents into this category. Once the category is created, users can assign documents to it by selecting the appropriate category from a drop-down menu when creating or editing a document. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating categories, it is important to choose criteria that are specific enough to accurately group documents but not so specific that it becomes difficult to find documents when needed. It is also helpful to create multiple categories so that documents can be grouped in different ways depending on the user’s needs.
