Billing Extract Task
The billing extract task receives requests from Services Framework for billing extracts and processes them. It also manages the end of day and clean up requests from Services Framework. Billing can be run manually or at scheduled intervals from the Control Center.
The inbound billing and outbound billing tasks add records to the billing table. At scheduled times, the task extracts new records from the table and puts them in an extract file.

The files in the billing extract file set have the same file name, but different file extensions. Users can define a new file name using the transmission definition screens. For more information about using the transmission definition screens, see Transaction Server User's Guide.
All tasks must be added to the Services Framework runtime engine. Once added, they must be registered and configured using the Services Framework user interface to be available for processing. For more information about registering and configuring the billing extract task, see Services Framework task registration and configuration.
