Billing Journal

Help Home | System Home | Core | Errors |

The Billing Journal is your permanent record of the bills that were calculated this month. This report contains the same information that will be printed on the bills. The Billing Journal is normally run before the bills are printed. This will give you a chance to check the information and make any necessary corrections before the bills are printed.

The Billing Journal will be printed in route/sequence number and will be totaled by route with grand totals. As your meter reading routes are turned in, you may wish to go ahead and process the routes as they are read. If you do process the routes in this manner, you will probably want to go ahead and print the Billing Journal, bills and usage reports as soon as the route is calculated.

Be sure to enter the current billing date. Only accounts with matching dates will be printed. You can reprint an old billing journal by entering a prior billing date.

You have an option to print usages on the billing journal. This will cause the report to be wider, which may require that you reset the print properties for the report. See xxxxxxxx for setting these properties.
