Revenue Billing System
(RBS)
PCI’s Revenue Billing
System (RBS) is a scalable, multi-user,
client-server application that provides users
with a consolidated billing application for
almost any bill type. Customer billing
information of all types can be billed, tracked
and reported in one application and, in most
cases, one screen.
System Architecture – RBS is a full
Windows-based product. The server utilizes the
NT 4.0 or 2000/2003 operating system and the
database is either SQL Server 7 or 2000.
Workstation operating systems supported are
Windows 98, 2000, ME, or XP (recommended).
RBS is written in Visual Basic 6.0 and
Visual Basic .Net using COM+/MTS, XML, and
N-tier design technologies for maximum
scalability and reliability.

RBS supports hundreds of Billable Types
such as Real Estate, Personal Property, Business
Licenses, Transient Occupancy Tax, Franchise
Tax, Meals Tax, Bank Stock Tax, Sales Tax, etc,
and hundreds of Sub Types – for instance,
Personal Property would have Sub Types such as
Vehicles, Merchants Capital, Airplanes, and
Mobile Homes etc.
RBS accommodates hundreds of millions
of accounts and allows multiple owners per
account, allowing the user to attach as many
people responsible for each bill as needed to
ensure payments are made. Each account has all
of the bill types and sub types attached to it
providing a consolidated view of all billing
histories. Because all customers on an account
point to a single address, there is no
duplication of billing data.
The Tax Calculation Process in RBS is
modular. Each module can be adapted to the
user’s business requirements, thereby allowing
for multiple calculations through the taxation
process. Modules include:
 | Assessment method
options - Mass Appraisal, NADA, entered
amount, fixed amount, etc. |
| Pre tax discount
options - High mileage, homeowner’s
exemption, senior citizen, etc. |
| Taxable Value
Transformation Options - Flat %, cumulative
or simple depreciation, etc. |
| Tax Calculation
Options – Flat rate per specified taxable
value. |
| Post Tax
Calculation – any other calculation,
discounts, or delinquencies.
|
RBS users can
search for accounts using different pieces of
information, including name, address, phone,
account number, customer number, item number,
bill number and e-mail address.
RBS contains user maintainable prompts
that can be modified and rearranged as needed,
allowing for additional information to be
gathered through RBS at the time of
entry.
RBS transfers information from account
to account with a minimal amount of keystrokes.
If a change is made to a billable type in
RBS, the user can process all installments
for the changed tax year right then.
RBS is designed to provide the user
with tools they need right at their fingertips,
including interfaces to word processors and
spreadsheets, with the ability to email
information and use free form note fields.
RBS provides for extensive security not
only on the user, but workstations, menus and
applications |
