Viewing Account and Meter Tab Graphs and Historical Data

In addition to providing a bill entry template, the View/Create/Edit Bill windows provide an abundance of contextual historical data for the selected account and/or meter.

The view pane in the upper right portion of the Bill window displays a year of utility billing information in a spreadsheet format, including:

• Billing Period Month

• Billing Period Year

• Bill Start Date

• Bill End Date

• Bill Pay Amount

The tabbed pages at the bottom of the View/Create/Edit Bill windows display more extensive historical utility billing information drawn from the EnergyCAP database for the selected account and the associated meter(s):

• Bill Tab--Displays the bill entry template and associated with the account/meter, and associated values for the selected bill.
  

  

• Meter History Tab--Provides a spreadsheet view of all historical information for the selected meter. Bills highlighted in blue are yearly 'markers' corresponding to the month of the most current bill. The bill highlighted in green is the bill currently being viewed.

• Account Cost Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of cost history for the account.
  

• Account Cost/Day Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of cost per day history for the account.
  

• Meter Cost/Day Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of cost per day history for the currently-selected meter.
  

• Meter Use/Day Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of usage history for the currently-selected meter.
  

• Unit Cost Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of unit cost history for the currently-selected meter.
  

• Demand Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of demand history for the account.
  

• Load Factor Tab--Displays a monthly comparative line graph with 12 data points to produce a year of load factor history for the account.
  
  NOTE: With Release 6.0 and subsequent, accrual bills are no longer included in this graph view.
  

The chart data for both the ACCOUNT and METER graphs is drawn from the utility billing information in the EnergyCAP database.

NOTE: The ACCOUNT graphs will be a rollup of all associated account and meter charges/usage. The METER, DEMAND, LOAD FACTOR and UNIT graphs will display the currently-selected meter information, as archived in the Meter History. For multi-meter accounts, you can change the meter focus using the drop-down box at the bottom of the Bill window.
