    Information

    Meter Rates determine the pricing structure used when processing a Meter Read for a reservation.

    Utility Meters must be enabled and a Sundry Charge is required before Meter Rates can be setup.

    Up to four different Meter Rates can be setup per utility with a variety of charge options available including additional charges for supply or rebates.

    A Meter Rate will be selected when activating a meter on an Area to determine the pricing structure used for the utility.

    The Sundry Charge selected for an Additional Charge can be an Unassigned Credit Note for rebates or a standard Sundry Charge for Supply Charges. Select the 'Use Amount on Sundry' option to simplify maintenance of additional charges by updating the Unit Price on the Sundry Charge.


    Account Types, Reservation, Sundry & Tax are System Labels that can be customised.

    System Administrators will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
