Documentation

Definition

Defines the period before the system date in which billing orders can be created for periodic billing as part of move-in or move-out processing.

This period begins with the system date minus the specified number of days.

Use

When you create/reverse move-outs and move-ins, vacant status periods are created or canceled. When you create a mass order for a meter reading unit, a billing order is generally not created for inactive installations.

In certain cases it is therefore necessary to create missing periodic billing orders/delete unnecessary orders during move-in and move-out processing. This ensures that Billing and budget billing creation run smoothly.

The interval ensures that past billing dates for which you do not want to create any more billing orders are not taken into account.

Examples

You have specified an interval of 90 days. A move-in with a move-in date of May 1 is created for an installation.

  • Case 1: In accordance with the meter reading unit to which the installation belongs, the scheduled meter reading date is March 10.
    As March 10 is within the 90 interval, a billing order is created for this date.
  • Case 2: In accordance with the meter reading unit to which the installation belongs, the scheduled meter reading date is January 20.
    A billing order is not created because January 20 is outside of the 90 day interval.

Dependencies

See the documentation on creating future periodic meter reading orders.
