Budget billing

Fixed partial payment on the expected bill, which is charged in

advance.These partial payments are charged on budget bill- ling due

dates. For the utility company, budget bill- ling payments are

down payments on the bill, which is charged later.

Budget Billing Plan Procedure. A utility company normally bills for its services at the end of a

supply period, for example, during annual consumption billing.

Throughout the current period, it therefore charges budget

billing amounts instead of the actual amount owed, in order to

remain solvent. You define the dates and the amount of the

budget billing amounts in the budget billing plan. The budget

billing plan forms the basis for the increase in the budget billingamount.

You can use several budget billing procedures. Each of these have

different ways of determining budget billing dates and amounts,

managing budget billing data and posting procedures.

Payment plan procedure

Period-end billing

Additional billing at the end of a period whereby

the customer is billed for the closed period, for ex-ample, by means of back billing.

Periodic billingConsumption billing performed in regular intervals.

The time sequence of this billing process is defined in

scheduling. Examples:

Annual consumption billing

Monthly billing

Bimonthly billing

Backbilling is used when the correction for theprevious periods is expected to happen every month

upto 12 months ( floating backbilling govern by End of

billing period and period length in portion OR backbilli

"n" periods" based on no. of periods mentioned in the

"n" field), Whereas backbilling from dynamic period

control would be triggered only by actual reads.

DYnamic period control CANNOT be used along with

backbilling

Outsorting

Procedure whereby a document is placed on an ex- exception list

if it has failed validation during billing or invoicing.

DPC(Dynamic Period Control) enables you toprocess billing documents based on estimated

consumption. It lets you correct all the estimated billin

with real meter readings without cancellation on onebilling document. For example: if you have a periodic

actual meter read in the system in 01/01/09 and you

have estimated meter reads for the subsequent mont

02/01/09, 03/01/09, 04/01/09 and then you had a per

actual meter read in the system for May month

05/01/09.

DPC lets you correct all the estimated billing documen

using 1 actual meter read billing document.

RateBilling rule for a register or a reference value that refers to all thebilling-related steps executed during

billing.

A rate consists of one or more variant programs, which are part

of the billing schema.

Rate categoryClassification of an installation for billing purposes.

In conjunction with rate type, the rate category is used to

determine the rate.

Rate fact groupGrouping of individual facts that are allocated to a

rate.

Several rate fact groups can be allocated to one rate. Rate fact

groups enable you to use the same rate but apply different

operand values.

Example:

Rate fact group X contains the rate facts minimum demand = 20

kW and discount rate = 10%. If a custo- mer uses 20 kW, a

discount of 10% is granted.

Rate typeClassification of a register, flat rate or reference value for billing

purposes.In conjunction with rate category, the rate type is used to

determine the rate.

Rate Determination

Rate type + rate category = Rate

Payment plan:An agreement between the customer and the utilitycompany, which determines the amount to be paid fo

each bill on agreed dates. The payment plan amount i

not necessarily the bill amount. The difference amoun

between the bill amount and the payment plan amou

fixed and posted. The payment plan is not to be

compared with the budget billing plan that is charged

between two periodic bills.

Payment Scheme:

The payment scheme is a statistical budget billingprocedure. Consumption billing amounts from previou

and current billing periods are copied to the payment

scheme and distributed evenly over the next billing

period. The budget billing amount is determined parti

from an extrapolation portion that reflects the expect

consumption for the current billing period and partiall

from the copied consumption billings. It is not necessa

to copy consumption billings to the payment scheme i

order to use this procedure. If you do copy them, the

are not paid directly by the customer but during the n

billing period when the payment scheme requests are

paid. The payment scheme allows payments to be ma

in weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly

cycles. The validity period of a payment scheme is

unrestricted. This means that a payment scheme is no

ended and another created when you create a period

bill. Instead, the existing payment scheme is adjusted
