The reading and back reading times are determined to read the required data from the corresponding tables. These are different, depending upon whether monthly, daily or fixed values are used. An additional incluencing factor is the averaging type.
The following always apply:
- If no gas date is specified for a time slice in the associated period, the to-date of a suitable time slice is used as the replacement value. Normally the date of the latest time slice is used.
- If no gas date exists for the previous reading, the from-date of a suitable time slice is always used as the back reading date. Normally the date of the oldest time slice is used.
Example
The following examples demonstrate how to set the access times for calorific value calculation. The logic behind this is the same for the calorific value procedure and the volume correction factor procedure.
Daily values
The corresponding values are read for the period (from-date - to-date). These are determined if necessary.
Annual calorific values
The same gas date is used for all time slices in the coherent period.
This results from the gas date of the latest record or its to-date.
01/01/1998 |---------------------------------------------| 12/31/19999
The actual gas date is 10/25/1999 and the access point is 19/1999. The calorific value found is valid for the period 01/01/1998 -12/31/1999.
The gas date is the same as the to-date of the latest record and the access point is 12/1999. The calorific value found is valid for the period 01/01/1998 - 12/31/1999.
Monthly values (no averaging)
The reading date of the latest record, is the month and the year of the gas date. If this does not exist, then it is the month and the year of the to-date of the latest record.
The back reading date is only required for the oldest time slice, and is the same as the year and the month of the gas date for the previous reading + one month (gas date of previous reading 09/30/1998, and back reading date = 10.1998) or the same as the year and the month of the from-date of the oldest time slice within the associated period.
The standard case for this procedure is as follows:
|----- |----- |-----|
01 02 03
The billing period is always from 15th - 15th. For example, 15. February until 15th March. The calorific values for March do not exist at the time of billing, so February is fixed as the gas month, and the calorific value for February is used in gas billing. This results in the following:
Reading month = gas month (February)
Back reading month = last reading month + 1 month (February)
Averaging for one year
The reading date of all time slices in the associated period is the same as the gas date or the to-date of the latest time slice.
| ---------------------------------------------- |----------- |
11/2000 12/31
The gas month is November, because the calorific value for December does not yet exist for billing. This results in the following:
Reading month = gas month (November)
Fixed back reading month = gas month - 11 months (December of the previous year)
The average of the calorific value from December 1999 - November 2000, for example, is created. This value applies for the whole billing period (01/01/2000 12/31/2000).
Note:
If the fixed 12 month average is used, then the calculated value is also used, if necessary, for smaller billing periods. In the above-mentioned case, this is possible if the customer first moves in during the year, in July for example.
If you want to prevent this, you can alternatively use the procedure mentioned below. For this procedure, only the actual length of the billing period is important.
Averaging for the billing period
The reading date of all time slices in the associated period is the same as the gas date or the to-date of the latest time slice.
The back reading date of all time slices in the associated period is the same as the year and month of the gas date for the previous meter reading + 1 month (gas date of previous reading 9.30.1999 and back reading date = 10.1999) or the same as the year and month of the from-date of the oldest time slice within the associated period.
|---------------------------------------------- |----------- |
01/01 11/2000 12/31
The gas month is November, because the calorific value for December does not yet exist for billing.
Reading month = gas month (November)
Back reading month = gas month of the previous meter reading + 1 month (December of the previous year)
The average of the calorific value from December 1999 - November 2000 is created. This value is valid for the whole billing period (01/01/2000 - 12/31/2000).
Fixed values
Fixed values do not relate to calorific values, but rather to temperature, measured pressure and air pressure, which are all stored in the tables with the valid from-date.
The reading date of the latest record is the month and the year of the gas allocation date. If this is not available, then it is the month and year of the to-date of the latest record.
For time slices in the period, in which the month of the to-date is later than the gas allocation date, the gas month is copied as the reading date. Otherwise it is the month and year of the to-date.
Special features
- Determination of the gas month for several devices in the installation:
The following applies for the annual procedures:
In one year, several devices are installed in the installation as follows:
|__________________________ Billing Period _____________________|
|____Device 1 _______|
|____________Device 2 __________|
|____Device 3 ____|
When billing the calorific value and temperature, the same gas month is used for all three devices. This is the same as the latest gas month. Therefore, in the above example, the gas month of device 3 is the gas month for all three devices.
- Back reading month for fixed calorific values:
For determination of the back reading month, you distinguish whether the billing calorific values are fixed or actual calorific values.
- The following applies for fixed calorific values:
- Back reading month = month from the last billed meter reading result + 1 day.
- The following applies for all other components in the volume correction factor, calorific value and gas procedures. In other words, for actual calorific values, air pressure, temperature and conversion factors with degree day coefficient:
- Back reading month = last reading month + 1 month
- All calorific values are combined:
For fixed calorific values, the time slices with the same calorific values are combined:
|---10---|---10---|---10---| |---11---|---11---| |---12---|---12---| becomes
|-------------10-------------| |--------11--------| |--------12--------|
Call-up environment
The following call-up environments exist for gas billing. You distinguish whether gas billing is called up for a period or for a particular access time.
Call-up environment Replacement values From-date To-date
Billing None Move-in date or last billing date + 1 day End of billing period
Simulation with billing order None Move-in date or last billing date + 1 day End of billing period
Simulation without billing order Yes Input from-date Input to-date
Entry of meter reading data Yes Meter reading date Meter reading date
Budget billing extrapolation Yes Move-in date or last billing date Scheduled meter reading date from budget billing period from following period
Overall check Yes Move-in date or last billing date + 1 day Input to-date
Proration within billing No Date of price change, for example Date of price change, for example
The following applies for replacement values:
- None - No replacement value is used. If not all values are available, the processing is cancelled and an error message i
