Billing
Kentix SmartPDU devices feature MID certified energy meters. Based on the data determined with these, billing can be created.
To generate billing, it is recommended to carry out the configuration in the following order:
- Currency
- Tariff
- Customer
- Billing
The following documentation is based on the structure of the configuration
Billing
The basic settings of a billing include the activation state (On/Off) as well as a name. In addition, there is a customer to whom the billing is assigned, as well as a tariff that is applied to the billing. The billing interval as well as the storage duration can also be configured. Finally, the measurement channels (measuring phases of SmartPDUs and SmartMeters) can be assigned whose measured consumptions are to be used for the calculation.
Tariffs
The settings of a tariff include a name, a price per unit (kWh) and the currency used.
Customers
The customer in KentixONE billing can represent a real customer and forms the link between billing
and a customer name.
To make customers clearly distinguishable, a unique identifier can be entered.
With the help of the identifier, multiple customers with the same name could also be created. This is particularly useful if, for example, a customer has multiple departments that should receive their own billing.
Currencies
A currency includes a name and an ISO code, which is used to display the symbol of the currency.
The currency codes used are based on ISO 4217.
