Billing using energy tariffs is suitable for any ZEV that deals exclusively with the sale of electricity.
The costs for the following energies can be entered and invoiced:
Electricity (CHF/kWh)
Heat (CHF/kWh)
Cooling (CHF/kWh)
Hot water (CHF/m3)
Cold water (CHF/m3)
Gas (CHF/m3)
1. Create property
Click on Configuration, Create Invoice, Configuration again and then Add Property. Select the property you created in step 2. It will now be displayed together with the billing units on the left side under Properties.
2. Add billing addresses
A billing address must be added to each billing unit that has to be billed. To do this, click on the corresponding billing unit on the left and click on Add under Billing Address. A window opens in which you can enter the data of the invoice recipients.
If no address is entered for a billing unit, no invoice is generated for it. This may be desired in some cases, for example if you want to distribute the general meter to all tenants.
In our example, no addresses are added to the PV and general billing units.
Note: An invoice is generated for each billing address stored in a settlement unit, even if the fields Address and E-mail are empty. If, for example, you enter two tenants in a settlement unit, invoices will be generated for both.
3. Configure electrical tariffs
4. Define other energy tariffs
The tariffs for each energy type can be entered individually.
The prerequisite for this is that the tariffs have been calculated externally beforehand.
5. configure other costs at the property level
Additional cost items can be added in the Other field.
Example: The basic costs for meter rental and services should be charged monthly.
6. Configure other costs at billing unit level
Separate “Other” items can be added to individual billing units (apartments/tenants) in Billing! For example, individual meter rent can be charged or invoices already paid on account (negative amount) can be deducted.
