Report - Unit Communication Cost

The Unit communication cost report shows the communication costs and call durations for the selected units and is a suitable report to push to the person who is responsible for the cost center or the manager of the department. Besides from showing the selected period(s), the trend for the rolling twelve last periods will also be shown in a graph.

The report shows all costs for traffic and services for the unit first grouped by object type and then person by person. The report is clickable so that you may go further and see the details for a specific person, you will get to the Personal communication cost. If checking the box Show YTD, the report will add an extra column showing the accumulated Year To Date costs.

Note: For the report to show values in the columns MB (Mega Byte) for data traffic and Amount (for example MMS/SMS) the system administrator needs to have set the type for the traffic types that are not traffic minutes.
