In this IMG activity you define the calorific values to be billed for each calorific value procedure and calorific value district.
The field allocation and settings options for the screens depend on the settings of the chosen calorific value procedure.
Two important fields in the calorific value procedure are Calorific value type and CalVal for billing.
Daily values:
If you use daily calorific values, you must not maintain activity Maintain Billing Calorific Values. The values are used directly and can also be used for averaging for the billing period.
Monthly values:
The billing calorific values must be calculated for calorific values with a time reference of a month or a year. This activity is influenced by the fields in the calorific value procedure, as follows:
- Actual calorific values
For actual calorific values, the maintenance screen consists of three columns. You enter the months in these columns. After you have entered the dates, select the corresponding line. The billing calorific value is determined using the Maintain Line function, based on the fields. The system selects the Maintained field.
Which calorific value is determined, depends on the value you enter in the CalValue for billing field in the calorific value procedure.
- Defined calorific values
The maintenance screen for defined calorific values consists of six columns. You can specify a fixed calorific value for each month. After you have entered the date, select the corresponding line. The billing calorific value is determined using the Maintain Line function, based on the fields. At the same time, you obtain the percentage difference between the fixed calorific value and the calculated calorific value.
Because of this result, the billing calorific value can now be determined. This procedure is used so that primarily all residential customers use the same calorific value. Certain legislative requirements do specify that this calorific value may deviate by only a certain percentage from the actual calorific value. Always enter the same fixed calorific value. A billing calorific value is only used in cases of larger deviation from the actual calorific value, when the billing calorific value is closer to the actual calorific value.
Effects on the Average field for the calorific value procedure
The calculations of the billing calorific values depend on the Average field in the calorific value procedure:
- If the Average field is also selected in the calorific value procedure for actual calorific values, along with the arithmetic/weighted averaging/lowest value, then the billing period is averaged. In this case, the billing calorific values agree with the settings in IMG activity Maintain Monthly Calorific Values per Calorific Value District. Averaging first takes place during billing, because only then is the exact billing period known. You cannot select the Average field for defined calorific values.
- If the Average field is not selected, the specifications relate to the type of averaging, but only in this IMG activity. Averaging takes place over one year. This means that for September 1999,all values from October 1998 until September 1999 are correspondingly determined. The calculated value is used as the billing calorific value for actual calorific values. For defined calorific values, the calculated value is used as a comparison value for the calorific value you specified. This averaging is fixed over 12 months and can take place before the actual billing. This saves calculation time in billing.
If the time reference for the calorific value is one year, the billing calorific value of the access month is used for a whole year. This means that if the access month is September 1998, the billing calorific value is valid from October 1998 until September 1999 inclusively.
If the time reference of the calorific value is one month, the corresponding monthly billing calorific values are used.
Example
Here are explanations for the valid combinations of control fields for the calorific value procedure for monthly calorific values.
Column (1)
The settings defined in IMG activity Maintain Monthly Calorific Values per Calorific Value District are used. The time reference of the calorific value is one year. The arithmetic/weighted average is created.
- The following applies for actual calorific values:
The date you specified (09.1999 for example) is the start date for the corresponding averaging. The result is the billing calorific value for 09.1999. The access time is determined from the gas date in gas billing. The associated billing calorific value is valid for the whole year.
- The following applies for defined calorific values:
The date you specified (09.1999 for example) is the start date for the corresponding averaging. The result is the comparison value for 09.1999. In gas billing, the access time is determined from the gas date. The associated billing calorific value is valid for the whole year.
Column (2)
The actual calorific values and the settings defined in IMG activity Maintain Monthly Calorific Values per Calorific Value District are used. The time reference of the calorific value is one month. The arithmetic/weighted average is created. The Average field is selected.
In this case, averaging takes place first during billing, because only then is the exact length of the billing period known. The corresponding settings in IMG activity Maintain Monthly Calorific Values per Calorific Value District, are copied to activity Maintain Billing Values.
Column (3)
Actual calorific values are used. The time reference of the calorific value is one month.
The corresponding settings in IMG activity Maintain Monthly Calorific Values per Calorific District are copied to IMG activity Maintain Billing Values. There is one time slice per month in billing.
Column (4)
Defined calorific values and entries from IMG activity Maintain Monthly Calorific Values per Calorific District are used. The time reference of the calorific value is one month. The arithmetic/weighted average is created.
The corresponding average is created over one year and is used as the comparison value for the billing calorific value. This means that the comparison value for 09.1999 is the corresponding averaged value from 10.1998 until 09.1999. The time reference is one month. This means that one time slice exists for each month. Time slices with the same defined calorific values are grouped together.
Recommendation
Activities
- Check to what extent you can copy the standard settings.
- Change or add to the standard settings if necessary.
- If you copy the standard calorific value procedure and district, you must check the specified calorific value procedure and district in activities Define Calorific Value Procedure and Define Calorific Value District.
- To define a new billing calorific value, proceed as follows:
- Enter the calorific value procedure and calorific value district.
- On the next screen, specify the period for the billing calorific value.
According to the calorific value procedure, certain additional values are available for input.
The fields that are not ready for input are calculated for the specified period, because of the control data in the calorific value procedure in the system.
- To maintain the billing calorific values, proceed as follows:
- Enter the calorific value procedure and the calorific value district.
- On the next screen, specify a new period and complete the fields requiring input.
