Kentix SmartPDU devices have MID-certified energy meters. Billing can be created on the basis of the data collected.
To generate a bill, it is recommended that the configuration is carried out in the following order:
– Currency
– Tariff
– Customer
– Billing
The following documentation is based on the structure of the tabs in this menu item!
Settlements
The basic settings of a billing include the activation status (on/off) and a name. There is also a customer to whom the billing is assigned and a tariff that is applied to the billing. The billing interval and the storage duration can also be configured. Finally, the measurement channels (measurement phases of SmartPDUs and SmartMeters) whose measured consumption is to be used for billing can be assigned.
Tariffs
The settings of a tariff include a name, a price per unit (kWh) and the currency used.
Customers
The customer in the KentixONE statements can represent a real customer and forms the link between statements and a customer name.
A unique identifier can be entered to make the customers clearly distinguishable.
The identifier can also be used to create several customers with the same name.
This is particularly useful if, for example, a customer has several departments that are to receive their own invoices.
Currencies
A currency contains a name and an ISO code, which is used to represent the symbol of the currency.
The currency codes used are based on ISO 4217.
