Overview
You can set a rolling minimum charge on any meter using the meter price type "rolling minimum". When you do this any quantity less than the minimum is carried forward into future periods.
When implementing the Rolling minimum meter product price, the difference between the actual and minimum quantity can be carried forward as a potential credit at the minimum price rate where the actual quantity is less than the minimum quantity for a meter on a charge run.
Over Pages {over-rolling-minimum}| will show as a Debit on the Total Machine Meter
Under Pages {under-rolling-minimum}| will show as a Credit on the Total Machine Meter
The rule is: You can carry unders forward but you cannot carry under backwards.
Under is where the copies used up is less than the expected contract.
If the count is less than the minimum.
- The charge will be calculated as:
- The actual count times the count price
- plus
- The difference between the actual count and the minimum quantity required times the minimum price.
- Note, formula for one machine = (actual count * actual meter product price) + ((rolling minimum quantity - (actual count) * rolling minimum meter product price)) (for one meter count run
- Note, formula for a total machine = (sum(actual count variances) * actual meter product price) + ((rolling minimum quantity - (sum(actual count variance) * rolling minimum meter product price))
- A credit is created for the difference between the actual and the minimum at the meter count price. This credit can be clawed back in future months.</
