Metered transactions require charges to be calculated by multiplication of a fixed rate with a metered reading.
Setup charge code for water bills with metered calculations:
Go to Maintenance, Charges, Listing.
Select Water and Edit.
In the Calculation Method, select By Metered Rate.
Select Flat Rate or Table Rate for Meter Calculation.
Set a Rate to charge like 0.25000.
What can be done for each metered transaction:
If you already have a history, look inside Enquiry, meter ledger to check.
You can edit any metered bill.
What happens if I edit a bill?
The Doc Date can be edited (top right corner), and it will adjust the Period from and to at the bottom. So, if the last month is the period from 01/05/2023, you try not to edit the date from this month, 01/06/2023, to the May period because you already charged them for last month, May.
You can also edit the Current Meter Reading. This is normal, sometimes you save wrong, but you can come here and edit. No problem.
To avoid confusion, always delete the invoice and send the customer the new invoice, especially when you have not sent the original to the customer yet.
If you have already sent the customer the wrong meter reading invoice, then it is recommended to send a Credit Note to cancel the invoice and send a new invoice with the correct reading.
