BILL PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

Described is a method of editing a bill image having a number of records in a computer implemented billing system, each record having an assigned charge type identifier (CTI), the format of the bill image being dependent on the CTIs of the respective records, including the steps of establishing a set of data structures, converting each record of the bill image into a record held in one or more of the data structures in dependence on the CTI of the respective bill image record, editing one or more of the records held in the data structures, and using the records held in the data structures to create a new bill image. A bill image to be edited is disassembled into a number of records, each record representing a particular entry in the bill image. These records can then be edited by a user through a menu interface. The edited records are then used by a bill generation system to reassemble the bill image reflecting any changes made by the user.
