Correcting more than 1 document in EABICO

[former_member835073]

Hello,

We are correcting more than 1 document in sequence, i.e. correcting 10/2022, 11/2022 y 12/2022 documents in EABICO, for example. We are correcting and saving the 3 period's reading.

When simulating billing in the EABICO icon, it only shows 1 document in the 'New Bill' tab (even with 3 documents) and it's not possible to see each period's simulation. When billing in the EABICO icon, 1 document per period is generated and it's possible to see them in the 'New Bill' tab (it's possible to choose which document will be shown in the tab).

Why is there a difference between simulation and billing documents in EABICO?

Is there something standard to configure?

Best regards,

Hello,

The billing simulation (with billing order) tries to mimic the exact same behavior as the real billing; it requires a billable billing order, and it fetches the same data from the DB (e.g. previous billing documents, installation facts, usage factors, rate determination etc.) as it’s done during real billing.
Also the start of billing period is determined as it’s done during real billing – and this is based on either the move-in date or the last real, non reversed billing document for the same contract. The determination of this start date is done during each simulation run and it is always the end of billing period of last real billing + 1 day.
In background of processing in EABICO there are also 3 simulated billing documents created.
One for the time slice from last end of the last real billing document till the day of the billing order. Second starts at the same day (last end of the last real billing document) and goes till the date of the second billing order and last one starts also at the same date (last end of the last real billing document) and goes to the date of the third billing order.
In case of EABICO only the last document is shown, because it makes no sense to show documents with overlapping time slices. And, this document contains the complete period from last end of the last real billing document until date of third billing.
