TB - totalConsumptionTolYearZeroCheck.xml

Checks zero consumption on this bill and/or last years bill

...

NOTE:  This Validator needs to be set up on the Tenant Account or Organisation (NOT the Site).

Validator Set Up


Variables

VariableDescription
Tolerance % for consumption variation on previous year Tenant Bill, if both non-zero

Percentage variance allowed where current bill and previous bill consumption greater than zero

PASS if present bill = zero, previous bill = zero (bzz)

Select if validation should pass where both current and previous bills are zero

bzz – pass if this bill and the previous bill both have zero consumption
PASS if present bill = zero, previous bill non-zero (bznz)

Select if validation should pass where the current bill is zero but the previous bill has consumption e.g. where property is now empty.

bznz – pass if this bill has zero consumption and the previous bill has consumption
PASS if present bill = non-zero, previous bill zero (bnzz)

Select if validation should pass where current bill has consumption and previous bills are zero e.g. property was previously empty

bnzz – pass if this bill has consumption and the previous bill has zero consumption
PASS if cons difference % fails but kWh trivial, below significance limit (ignore if 0)

Enter a kWh value that can be used if the validator fails but by a small amount e.g.

Main tolerance set to 10% and 500 kWh significance limit:

Current cons = 4975 kWh

Previous cons = 4500 kWh

Difference = 475

This fails 10% tolerance as 4950 is the limit, but passes as less than 500 significance limit
 
If the user leaves the value as 0 then the bill would just FAIL on the breach of 10% (> 450)

...

Note: the Validator will look for an exact period match and if doesn’t find one, will use nearby bills to compare e.g. bill May -June 2022 which is compared against the Feb-Apr 2021 bill. Billing May-July compares the correct period.

Failure Prompt


Explanation:  - This example is where the Validator is set at 10 Tolerance and 600 kWh difference and no fields Ticked

...

Total cons within % of prev years Tenant Bill. PASS/FAIL on selected bill = zero criteria: FAILED

kWhLimit=10.00  -the 'Pass if cons difference%' figure in the Validator (last field) = 10 - 10 kWh

TolPcent=2.00 the 'Tolerance' set in the Validator (first field) = 2  - 2%

LoLimit=33.95994 - the consumption in the previous year's bill 33.95994 kWh
