Simulation in billing

[Former Member]

Hello Billing Gurus

I have a requirement, creat a supplymentry bill for already billed periods with out changing the meter readings (with user defined consumption). For this i thought

1. Creating a simulation billing document (with user defined consumption) with out changing the actual

meter readings.

2. creating a manual billing document keeping simulation billing docuemnt as template.

Here i got a problem, that how to create a simulation billing document with user defined consumption for already billed periods with out changing the actual meter readings.

Please help me in this issue..

Thanks in Advance

You could always try to do a Manual doc, EA16.

post it to the period, there you can place any data you require with out affectign the existing invoice,

Hello Bobby,

Thanks for ur reply

But if we use EA16 manuall bill all the schema logic will not work.

If i want to charge a customer other charges along with energy charges,

which will be calculated from the amount of energy charges, like Govt Duty is 20% of energy charges.

this kind of claculation logic can not happen in Manual billing. as far i know

thanks & regards

True, but do you want to repeat the schema steps, if an existing invoice is active?

If you do that you will be billing the customer twice?

Is the the gov't duty a part of the rate's now?

In which case, you can adjust reverse the billing doc's for periods you want the duty to be applied to then bill them back again.

In my experience, if you updated a rate, adjustments will apply the current rate.

This leaves the customer invoice alone, and you can recreate an invoice for that period.

the new invoice would reflect the net difference between the original invoice and the new one that includes changes to the rates.
