(E12345) - The name of the Meter
Explanation
Bill Details
- The Bill has a Meter reading value of 12345 (previous reading) as of 1/2/2020 (From date)
- The Bill has a Meter reading value of 15000 (present reading) as of 28/2/2020 (Reading date)
- Number of days in the bill = 28
...
35.714 units (the amount of units between dates in the Channel) x 27 (not 28 for some reason)(the number of days in the bill) = 964.3 (the predicted advance for the billing period)
964.3 units (the predicted advance for the billing period) added to 12345 (the previous reading in the bill) = 13309.3 (validator shows 13308.4)
