Service Quantity Identifiers

Optional service quantity identifiers may be configured to capture the following:

• Tax Amount. The system compares the accumulated bill's tax amount to the specified threshold amount to determine if taxes are applicable. If taxes should not be applied for the account, the system regenerates the bill segments as necessary. If you wish to capture the tax amount computed for informational purposes, then a tax amount SQI should be set up and specified as a parameter on the algorithms that apply the taxation threshold.
• Tax Discrepancy Amount. Since tax calculation rules are calculated and rounded at the bill segment level, it's possible that rounding discrepancies may occur if rounding of these tax amounts should take place at the bill level. If you wish to account for these rounding discrepancies, then a tax discrepancy amount SQI should be set up and specified as a parameter on the algorithms that apply the taxation threshold. Your rates should also be configured to cater for this rounding discrepancy. The system adds an entry for the discrepancy amount to one of the bill segment's SQ collections prior to regenerating the bill segments.
