Utility Billing Proration Prorate Initial Final Stop



Description of Issue

Proration of a base flat amount is not prorating the service base flat amount in my final bill run



Context
  • UBCIS

  • Proration

  • Initial/Final/Stop

  • Final Bill



Cause

The stop date of the service was 12/31/9999 and needs to be the actual stop date of the service



Resolution

Correct the service stop date on the service that should be prorated.



Additional Information

The formula for calculating a proration charge for Prorate Initial/Final/Stop Date is as follows:

Flat Amount / Number of cycle days * billing days 

Flat Amount 
Number of Days in Cycle (From the service screen bill code.)  
Billing Days - (Previous Read Date - Service Stop Date)

Example 

25.00 (flat amount) / 91 (number of cycle days) * 47 (billing days) = 12.912087912087912087912087912088, 
rounding to 12.91 (you get the same value doing 47/91*25.00).Â
