Overview
| Excerpt |
|---|
The meter count run captures the meter counts from Machines, but does not create invoices. In order to invoice those counts to the customer, you need a meter charge run. The charge run is separate to allow you to: - invoice fixed charges for meters in advance
- invoice variances at the beginning or the end of a period of time
- have different charge months for fixed charges and count variances
- allow customer to save up under minimum charges on a meter to use in later periods when meter usage is greater than the minimum
