Hi experts,
Moderator note - thread locked, duplicate posting
we have meter rental charge and minimum charge.
now we want to modify:
if no of days > 15 then consumer have to pay 100 % charge
otherwise he has to pay 15 days charge ifs no of days are less than 15 days.
I have seen rental Charge in EA31 and Minimum Charge In EA54. i have mentioned price as 31 days.
Now how can we do it.
Regards.

Hi,
Change the logic for the rate step & billing schema by using IF and else variant programs.

Hi Priya,
Step1: Use variant Program COMPUT20 to get the no. of days in the bill period.
Step2: If EF_BILDAY >= 15
Stpe3: Use LUMSUM01 to calculate the charge from the price and give factor=1, it will then count Price*no.of bill days internally.
Step4: Else
Step5:Use COMPUT22 to multiply the price with factor=15 to get the amount.
The only problem that I find in the above mentioned steps is LUMSUM01 uses LPRICE, whereas the COMPUT22 uses TPRICE.
You may check for some other variant program from EA99, that can suit your calculation.
Thanks

Hi Priya
Not changing the existing design, you can add the below steps in your rate:
Step1: COUMPUT20 EU_Billday EF_Billday (EU_Billdays = Factory cal in rate facts)
Step2: IF EF_billday >=15
Step3: the existing step of Settle01
Step4: Else
Step5: LUMSUM02 EA_MINCHG EF_01 EA_MINCHG
Step6
EA_MINCHG = price *15, since this amount will be constant. maintain this amount in rate facts one time, unless price changes.
Give me some more detail about the min consp charge, then I can check.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Actually min charge is meter rental charge and min consumption charge.
It is different according to Meters and Tariff.
But i am new in Billing, not able to enter this configuration.
could you please elaborate it and give the exact entries to enter.
Could you please send me the link so that i can read how to create rates?
Regards.
Priya
