See Manage Bill and Billing Procedures - Batch Billing for the business process diagram associated with this activity.
Group: Manage Bill and Billing Procedures - Batch Billing - Get Consumption
Actor/Role: CC&B
Description: CC&B determines consumption to be billed. The system determines the Bill Period boundary, and next determines the Consumption Period boundary.
Automated Process: System identifies start and end date for the billing period using the same business rules as described in manual process.
The consumption period is the inclusive period passed to the Rates. It is used for calculating the charges for the Bill Segment. The system looks at every Service Point linked to the Service Agreement. The system retrieves each meter linked to each Service Point during the Bill period (a service point has multiple meters when a meter exchange has occurred during the Bill period).
Note: The system ignores Service Points that are not billable, disconnected before the Bill period started, or are yet to be connected as of the Bill end date.
