Dealing with Failed Validation
There are 4 7 Validators that can be set up for Tenant Billing.
Here is a list of the 4 7 Validators:
- TB - HfdChannelGapCheck.xml
- TB - ZeroConsumptionCheck.xml
- TB - totalConsumptionTol.xml
- TB - totalConsumptionTolYear.xml
- TB - AlignedBillStartReadsCheck.xml
- TB - AlignedBillEndReadsCheck.xml
- TB - ActualReadsAgeCheck.xml
Below details how to deal with each Validator if it fails:
TB - HfdChannelGapCheck.xml
Checks for any gaps in Periodic Channel Data.
Gaps can be filled so that the bill reflects the consumption for the whole period.
...
TB - ZeroConsumptionCheck.xml
Checks to see if the consumption is zero
If the period of the bill shows no consumption, this Validator will fail.
...
TB - totalConsumptionTol.xml
Checks that the total consumption on this bill is within a set percentage of the previous bill
The percentage is set by the User
The failure message gives the following information:
...
TB - totalConsumptionTolYear.xml
Checks that the total consumption on this bill is within a set percentage of the previous years bill
The percentage is set up the User
This validator does the same as the the TB-totalConsumptionTol.xml except that is compares the current bill with the previous years bill.
The above screen shot shows as UNABLE TO COMPLETE as there wasn't a bill for the same period last year.
TB - AlignedBillStartReadsCheck.xml
Checks that the Start Meter Read(s) on the current bill are aligned with the End Meter Read(s) on the previous bill
TB - AlignedBillEndReadsCheck.xml
Checks that the end Meter Read(s) on the current bill are aligned with the Start Meter Read(s) on the next bill
TB - ActualReadsAgeCheck.xml
Checks that the actual Meter Reads used to calculate or derive consumption on the current bill are less than (X number of months) months old
