The full suite of billing documents provides layers of detail supporting the charges included in your invoice. These documents include: invoice, invoice detail report, account summary, and detail traffic reports.
The monthly reports received may include some or all of the following.
- An invoice detail report summarizing the charges incurred for the billing period.
- An Account Summary report that lists the device attributes, status, and traffic totals for all devices. This report may be called "New Summary" or "Account Summary (Enhanced)."

How to Read Invoices
Your invoice summarizes the quantities and charges for each type of service used by your devices each month. The services are broken down by the product type and the services and fees within each product type. The actual line items shown on your invoice will depend on the services to which you are subscribed and will appear for only those that have non-zero quantities.
Billing invoices from Aeris are delivered electronically (via e-mail) to the default billing contact in PDF format for quick and easy reading and printing. The invoices are simple to read and provide a summary of charges for the billing period.
Important: All times and periods are specified in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
The Aeris billing period starts at 00:00:00Z (in UTC) on the first day of the month, and ends at 23:59:59.999Z (in UTC) on the last day of the month. For information on Date and Time formats, please see Aeris Standard Date and Time Format Specification.
