The goal of WISL Webbill is to provide a web based facility
for the collection of carrier probill records that may then be transferred to another WISL
system(eg. WISL Shipment Analysis or WISL Billing)to be utilized for auditing or billing.
It is anticipated that the facility could be used by shippers or carriers. If it is used
by carriers to provide direct billing input under the license of a shipper, a feature is
optionally available(invoked by carrier) to generate a flat file of records that contain
the data attributes to update a financial accounting system to reflect the billing.

1. Access to the routine is
controlled by the licensee on a website provided by the licensee. Certain data required
for the transactions to be generated for the target WISL system will be retrieved
automatically from a parameter file as part of the authorization process.
2. Customer/consignee, city points and province/state files may be used
to facilitate effective and accurate collection of probill data. These files would be
downloaded periodically from the licensee's server that runs the target WISL system.
3. Upon completion of data entry for each probill a transaction is
generated to be stored and sent in batch(via FTP) to the target WISL system on the
licensee's server.
4. Upon completion of data entry for each probill a transaction may be
optionally generated to be stored and sent in batch(via e-mail) to the source carrier's
e-mail address.
