The document discusses rate structures and billing procedures for a utility company. It describes how rates are determined based on rate categories and types stored for each installation. It lists different types of billing supported, including periodic, floating backbilling, period-end, interim, final, budget, and average monthly billing. Budget billing plans determine an average amount owed over 12 months that the customer pays consistently, with new simulations run periodically.

Rate Structure

Purpose

You store the billing rules for the utility company in this component. The rate is the most
important element of billing. The appropriate rate is derived from the rate category and the rate
type during rate determination. A rate category is allocated to each utility installation. It
contains data that controls the cross-rate processing of meter reading data and billing. The data
can be overridden by individual specifications in the installation. The rate type establishes the
rate allocation of the registers and is usually stored in the installation structure. It can also be
stored in the rate category or in the installation, for example, in the case of flat-rate installations.
The graphic below illustrates the interaction between the different elements of contract billing.

The following billing procedures are supported:


 Periodic billing is consumption billing carried out on a regular basis.
 Floating backbilling is a form of monthly periodic billing. If necessary, values from
previous
 months in a billing year are recalculated and backbilled using a current value.
 Period-end billing is carried out separately after a billing cycle. Periodic billings can, if
necessary, be recalculated and backbilled.
 Interim billing is not controlled by scheduling functions and can be carried out manually
at any time (upon customer request, for example).
 Final billing is triggered when a customer moves out.
 In the budget billing plan, an average amount is determined either by simulation or
manually. The customer pays this average amount for a period of 12 months. At the end
of this period, a new simulation is run for the next period.
 In Average Monthly Billing/Equalized Billing, the customer is charged an average on
billings over the next 12 months (or less in the case of new customers). amount based
