A Quote Shows How Bill Segments Might Look

A quote shows how a customer's bill segments will look if a given set of pricing terms is applied to a given amount of consumption. The following example illustrates how a quote might look that provides a customer with two different options for their electric service. If the customer elects either option, a new service agreement would be created.

Please note the following about a quote:

• A quote is related to an account.
• A quote can contain many quote details. A quote detail shows how bill segments will look if a given set of pricing terms (e.g., rates, riders, contract quantities, contract options, etc.) is applied to a given amount of consumption.
• A quote detail may contain many simulated bill segments. For example, a quote detail could show the customer what their monthly bills would be if a given set of pricing terms were used over the course of several months (where each month has different consumption levels and different prices).
• A quote may contain multiple quote details for the same service. For example, a quote can contain four different pricing options for the same service (where each option is shown using a separate quote detail). The customer can then compare them and choose the optimum option.
• A quote may contain quote details for multiple premises and multiple services at each premise. For example, a quote can contain quote details for electric and gas service at multiple premises.
