Validators
There are two Validators to check the Fixed Charges, one for Electricity and one for Gas.
- GB - ElecFixedCharges
- GB - GasFixedCharges
The Property Keys needs a unique name (ie FixedElecCharges or FixedGasCharges) and you need to enter include the figure you want to validate against.
For example, if you enter 20 you would expect the Fixed Charges on the Account to be £20 (add a tolerance to the Validator if you don't expect it to be exact, ie 10%)
WHAT CELL(S) DOES IT CHECK?? - have i got the right cell?
...
25, the Validator will take that as a daily figure. It will then look at the figure in the Fixed Charges field in the bill and divide it by the number of days and match one against the other.
Example:
- Property Key has a value of 30
- Validator allows for a 10% difference
- 30 + 25% higher = 37.5
- The bill is for a period of 31 days
- The Fixed Charges field in the bill has a value of 2000
2000 (the Fixed Charge) / 31 (number of days) = 64.52
The Validator would fail as 64.52 is over 37.5 (30 + 25%)
