Issue on quarterly bill

[Former Member]

Dear All

The utility generates bill quarterly for consumers as shown in referred bill u201CDomestic u2013 Quarterly billu201D. For such consumers, the utility takes reading from the consumers after end of consumption period and generates bill on the 1st billing month.

In the bill the utility divides total consumption into three parts (considering each part for each consumption month) and calculates all charge heads separately on each part. It however, consolidates and generates a single bill having three rows, each row showing charge heads of each consumption month and also net and gross amount to be given for each consumption month.

Moreover, three postings have to be generated in FICA against that single bill. Also, it provides three due dates to the consumer, each date falling in each billing month, to pay the above three net amounts respectively. Dunning and other activities should be triggered if the consumer fails to pay the stipulated amount by corresponding due date.

In the referred bill,

Consumption months: June, July, August

Billing Months: September, October, November

Meter Reading taken in August

Bill generated in August

Due dates: 12 Sep 2009, 12 Oct 2009 and 12 Nov 2009

Issues:

1. How to generate three posting against single invoice?

2. How to generate three due dates for above postings in three consecutive months since due date logic is incremental in nature here, e.g.

1st due date = posting date + 15 days

2nd due date = 1st due date + 30 days

3rd due date = 2nd due date + 30 days

Hi ,

one of the solution that i can suggest

you can have monthly billing and invoice.

For example for

Invoice for June l with posting date in August.

Invoice for July with posting date in Sep ,

like wise for August with posting date in Oct.

Set print lock on these invoices thru event R412.

You can customize your Print work bench program which generate Print bill,where this program would be executed Quarterly.

All the invoice details for last 3 months can be aggregated in single invoice document and send it to customer.

With this you will have 3 Invoice document with 3 postings in FICA and also single aggregated bill for customer.

Hope this helps
