Reading based line items

A reading based line item is a particular type of service based line item that calculates charges based on usage readings. The most common example is a line item for a metered water service.

To define a reading based line item, select ReadingBased from the Type list when you define a service based line item.

After you select ReadingBased from the Type list, an additional option is shown in the Rate Change list:

  • Rate Period Specific: Sums the values produced by passing each consumption reading to the rate table that was effective at the time of the reading.
