You can add additional information on the bill to show a description of the charges .
The Tariff is held under the Contract, and the Cost Definitions can be under the Organisation, Site, Meter etc. It is good practice to add them under the Organisation as they are then accessible in one place.
You will probably have one Contract and a few Cost Definitions attached to the Contract, for example Pence Per Unit, Standing Charge and VAT rate. On a Gas Bill, you may use Calorific Value and Temperature Pressure Multiplier figures that are used in the background to produce the Bill.where there might be key information you want to expose to the Tenant in terms of how the bill has been created.
Where the Tariff has been configured to perform a calorific value conversion for the consumption being charged, then it is possible to show the different calculation steps in terms of how the metered consumption has been converted into an energy value:
- Metric Units
- Volume Correction
- calorific value
- m3 to kWh Multiplier
- Resulting kWh Consumption
To show these on the Bill in the Description field, set up as follows:
