Billing as per two different category

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario where I have to divide meter consumption in 2 parts (i.e 60% and 40 %) then this first part should be billed as per one category (i.e domestic) and another part should be billed under another category (i.e LT). there is only 1 contract for this just billing as per two diff categories. i do not want to write different rates for this requirement.

Same rates has been used for these DOM and LT parts; just price key is different. now need to call these rates two time to calculate the diff amount.

Could you please help me on the solution.

Regards,

There are billing variants you can use to break up the consumption into the desired quantities.

Thanks William for your comment!

Yes we have billing variant to break the consumption but my query is as i have to bill this broken consumption as per two tariff category. Tariff A is having the same rate steps (same rate) as tariff B (Just different price used).

So i need to call a same rate in 2 times in billing with passing different operand value (consumption) and price. For price i can create diff facts group and can use two rate type to call a same rate in two times. But now my query is how can i pass different consumption in same rate.

Or should i create a new rate instead of using existing. Please suggest me.

why does it need to be two different categories (and what do you mean by that term)? Generally this would be done with 2 rates in one schema.

If its just consumption multiplied by LT price I will suggest you to write additional rate, but if billing logic is very complex then you can have two contracts and two installations under one CA. One installation with domestic rate-category and other with non-domestic and maintain % factor at the installation fact and cross install one device across two installation (full and billing related) . now as a additional rate mutiply consumption with the % operand.

use joint invoice as 1 and club two bills under one invoice.
