Bills Tab - Bill Print

The Bill Print section on the Bills tab organizes the fields that determine the settings for printing bills.

1. If the Pre-Calculated Penalty check box is selected, the projected penalty will be included on the bill. The check box is cleared by default.
2. The Show Detailed Charge Categories check box indicates whether charge category child levels will be listed on the bill with the parent levels. If there are too many to fit the bill form, the summary version (just the parent charge categories) will automatically be used.
3. The Show Parent Charge Categories check box, if selected, indicates that the parent charge categories will display on the bill.
4. If deduction meters are used, selecting the Show Credit Effects of Deduction Meters check box will display information about this meter on the bill. Effects of deduction meters will appear as a derived charge category.
5. The Deduction Credit Title field is required if the Show Credit Effects of Deduction Meters check box is selected. Enter the title for the deduction meter. It may contain up to 16 characters.
6. If the Post Net check box is selected, the post net barcode will print on the bill. The barcode contains the city, state, and Zip code.

The next three check boxes allow your organization to control the relationship and details of consumption and charge category dollars. Only one of these three check boxes should be selected; having more checked will impede performance, and the system will only use one of the settings regardless of how many are selected.

8. Select the Transaction with Consumption Information check box to print transaction and consumption information on the bill. If this check box is selected, the rate that the consumption was run through will appear next to the consumption. This format requires a custom change to your existing bill.
9. Select the Include Consumption By Charge Category check box to present consumption organized by charge category on the bill. If this check box is selected, the bill is divided by services, and all charge categories for that service are grouped with the service. Meters (or non-metered units) that belong to that service will also be grouped together. This format requires a custom change to your existing bill.
10. Select the Include Consumption by Service Type check box to present consumption organized by service type on the bill. This is the presentation used in our standard bill.
11. If the Show Budget Bill Details check box is selected, accounts that use budget billing will have budget billing information printed on their bill.
